Hi Carl, I used Nvu to create my personal website after a a couple of introductory workshops at our local computer club http://www.bbc.org . At first I used the web space provided by my account with the local ISP See the results at http://www3.telus.net/public/rtbailey/ This web space was fairly easy to manager but the web space available was too limited. I then used Nearly Free Speech as a low cost web host. https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ Costs for uploading maintenance and storage is low. Costs are incurred with site traffic and downloads. Still $20 per year is a reasonable expense. You get to name my own domain and website. FTP has to be used to load and manage the site. This is another learning experience.
See www.walkingshadow.info . It is not very pretty or sophisticated but it serves my purpose of making information available. I still know very little about html and website design but at least I now know what I don't know. I agree with your advice: give web page authoring a try.
