Welcome to WW Evans!

I have some advice to give as well. I also just started designing a few months ago and posted on here before I got started.

Like everyone here is saying you just need to jump in. All of this information can be VERY overwhelming. I would look for a HTML tutorial online, study it for a few hours (thats all it takes to learn it, its a VERY easy language to learn) and start by writing a few pages by hand. Also, learn CSS. It really helps for large and small sites. Google it after you learn HTML.

Look for a cheap hosting company when you finish your site. I spent almost $200 on my hosting for my first site which was really my largest mistake so far.

I started by making a very small website and forum. I have a few regular members so far but the real thing was that I learned how to do it!

Steerpike its just incredible, you explained everything so easily, this post is one of the best I found on any forum. .... classic, must read for everyone - First Step to Webhosting.

Seriously. Steer where were you when I wanted to learn all of this? Very well written advice!
