Yes, I can give you a step by step guide to create a website. 1) Practise some HTML programming, if you want to structure and design your site yourself. Otherwise you can choose among several templates that are offered by different hosts who will host your website, but we will come to the topic of hosting later on. But I would suggest you to do the thing yourself to give your site an unique appearance. 2) Open the notepad, yes..the notepad application you have in your Start - Accessories menu in your computer. 3) Write the html program codes to design and write your webpage contents. Save them with ".html" extension, and your webpages are ready in your computer. 4) Then you need to choose and buy a good Domain name for your website. You can do that by doing a little searching, there are many sites that offers domain names. 5) Next, find a good host, to launch your website. 6) Download the FTP Explorer software, so that you can upload the webpages to the server. 7) Your website is now ready. Now, I have cut the long story very very short, and if you don't have any idea about all these, then better you do some searching. There are many sites that gives free tutorials to build websites. Go through them, to understand the thing in details. Also if I have written anything that is wrong, then please consider, because I am out of this business for a long time. Hope this information will help you a little.

As for basics try and learn HTML first that will help you create your web page. that you can easily upload on any host. For starters you can use freewebs.com or tripod.com and build a website on your own. you can learn basic html from this website, its the best one I have found so far http://www.pagetutor.com/html_tutor/index.html

Hi padu19, you can start with a blog first. Then learn more as the time goes. Blog is the easiest website you can create. You can view my blog http://artofapogee.blogspot.com as example. I just register with blogger.com at http://www.blogger.com then choose the template I like. Then start posting your stories and pictures. And the best thing is it is FREE. :D To enhance your blog, you have to know some basic HTML and you can learn that for free at http://www.w3schools.com
