Hi Steve,
There's quite a few ways you can get some AIM webpages up, depending on the amount of "fooling around" you want to do. Most of the "portals" will give you free web space, though you may be restricted to one page. You can actually WYSIWYG yourself up a nice page to start and take it from there. Here's an example of one I put up at Infoseek in a few minutes.
homepages.infoseek.com

If you want to build a "site", your ISP most likely offers plenty of free space with your account.

I do all my HTML by hand because I like the clean code and the control I have. I learned by copying some simple pages and changing the text and images. Then I got a 1200 page book! I never really used any HTML software so I can't comment other than to say that I've seen the "garbage code" they can produce.

The one thing I was unclear on at first was the need for FTP software. You use it to "put up" the pages. I use WSFTP which has a drag and drop browser interface. It's quite easy once you get the basics.

If you need any tips, let me know. Glad to help. I hope to see some pages from you soon!

Regards,
D1
