You can get your own domain on GoDaddy for $9.99 a year and either host your site for free (with ads) which is great if you just start out and once ready you can use their hosting services which will cost you less than $5.00 a month.

I have been using go daddy for sometime now and they have great customer service and great products.

I know next to nothing about it. I was able to set up a free web page with google.
It's not the greatest. Someday I will have to get a domain name and get a better web site, for now this was free, and pretty easy.

I really love working with HTML and CSS, but I'm so out of practice it's hard to jump right back in to it again. I've forgotten A LOT of stuff lol.

Once you wrap your head around the way HTML works, you'll find it a lot easier to think in terms of html and how to create web pages.

I think coding is fun, it's so set and logical (sometimes not though and thats frustrating), but it's like a big puzzle all the time that you work through and I love those sorts of things.

Some places like coffeecup have a drag and drop web builder, it is pretty easy to use and very functional.

Well the webpage is coming along nicely. I will get a few screen shots up in a bit.

Well you get the picture I will resize later now time for food.

No thoughts on this. I have my collection, gallery, and terms of service pages but all are blank so I didnt bother. I also learned while making this that HTML code really isnt that difficult. Yay for learning new things.

give Joomla a go man .. I am telling you .. for the novice is give you a page fast and easy, and professional looking (more so than hacked HTML). For the pro is has a lot of advanced features so it can grow with you and your business/collection.

Think of HTML as the site's bone structure. It's the core structure of your site. Think of CSS as the skin - it's what gives the site it's appealing appearance :)

The best pieces of advice you can get! Even if you dont want to start with a blank page google for some free templates and go from there. Dreamweaver and knowing html/css is what you need to know :)

Also when you buy a webhosting package and get cpanel you get a website builder, its not great but works.

chill3 is the coupon code for godaddy for $6.95 domains

I use www.synthasite.com. It's a really quick easy way to make a website 100% free. The only catch is that you have to have their name in your website name. For example my website through them is: www.undergroundrattery.synthasite.com

I don't mind it because it's free, but it's all up to you.

EDIT: I just read a bit more an see that you made one! I like the screen shots! It looks really nice!
