Ok.

Been having a look into the world of website making and now I think is the time to do it, but I know hardly anything about it. I'm crap at designing and i'm crap at HTML coding in general.

Yes I want to make a website, Yes I want to make it look good, But I know i'm rubbish at it.

I'm willing to learn though :)

Here's what I have so far, it looks pretty basic as you can see.

(remove space - its a yahoo breifcase link)

Can anyone provide any hints and tips to get me started? I wouldn't mind having the links section text get bigger or smaller when the mouse is ran over it.

I appreciate any help that is received.

Learn CSS as well as HTML as it's essential for the layout of your site, also you may want to look into JavaScript/Flash for those rollover effects you want.

In the meantime that link in the original post is being gay, and geocities is being gay so i'll have to find someway of uploading it...

Well, I am pretty crap at HTML coding too, and I ahve only started, but Rickoss, (God bless him) give me this site :

http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/frontdoor/beginners.html

Which I find informative and useful. It might be a bit basic for you, but there are other great bits of the site that also are helpful.
