ok i am fairly new to programming and i would like to have a cool website but i have no clue wat to do to make it look good.

i tried to make my own site on a free site making site.

this is the url of my site

http://www.m-i-n-d-f-r-e-a-k.piczo.com

if any1 helps it would be greatly appreciated

tip:
- never use "free site making" sites. They dont help you learn and all sites made using them are absolute shite.

- find out how to make a site
- learn html/css

- look for good resource sites

I suggest w3schools for starting:
http://www.w3schools.com/html/

once youve learnt html look at these:
http://www.w3schools.com/css/
http://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/

to get it on the web
- find a decent host
- try to learn a little about graphics making too

using mark up languages isn't programming...

If you want something to look good, use your imagination. Being different is good

First of all, anyone on this forum will suggest that you do not use piczo or any related websites.

Second of all, I suggest that you learn some html and make a simple webpage. Once this is done, find a host (You could ask me...lol) to put your website online. There are alot of people on here that can help you get a host as alot of people are hosts. Then, once this is done, maybe learn php and such and add features to your pages. It is a long process but in the long run, it is very useful. Then if you need help, simply ask on here and the people here will be glad to help.

Traxor will probaly host you if you ask him nicely
And like lou_habs said he will.

or u can use some WUSIWUG program...like dreamweaver or frontpage.

i find html alot more satisfying, it took me about 2 hours to learn the basics and i prefer the output of a good combined site of xhtml, css and php... it looks alot 'nicer'

I do not recommend, as it does'nt teach you, you cant use exteral style sheets and the tables are bad for keeping things valid.

First you will need a host to upload your files and webpages

well yeah, but its hell lot easier...lol

It is pretty simple to learn html and css once you get into the hang of the basics, it only took me a few days to learn it. I will host you if you wish, it will be ad free etc. but you will also have to learn how to use FTP Uploading software etc.
