DH Templates

What would be the best free website hosting (SIMPLICITY PLEASE)?

Hi! I'm looking to build a personal website again. I've done the whole HTML programming by hand with oldies like Angelfire, Geocities, Tripod etc (remember those?? how many HOURS did we have when we were teenagers! HUH!) I havent had a website since Geocities closed down a couple years ago. I didnt have time and didnt get around to it. I'm looking for a VERY SIMPLE TO USE template, but one that lets you have your own choice of design (very streamlined for me, almost no graphics except background image and photos). I like block color and easy-to-read Verdana font, no frills, bells or whistles. What I'd like to put on it is basic info, a "news" page, a few info pages on different subjects, a photo album, etc. Should I / is there one that can be linked to my Facebook, Youtube, etc? I use Photobucket for my photos (maybe I should get on Flicker but I like to order CDs of my pics from PBucket once in a while and I'm just used to it I guess). I dont need apps, games or a guestbook. I'd like maybe to have a few rotating photos on the "enter" page like a diaporama but I believe you can embed that from Photobucket or something right? It would be nice if they had templates where you can just type your text in a box, drag & drop your photos etc to make kinds of paragraphs with text and photos like in a newspaper, but without all this < p > < div > html drivel........ does that exist? for free free free?? Basically what I'm looking for is a site that is VERY EASY and SIMPLE to UPDATE. Like Geocities was when it was still free. But easier. Cuz I'm 33 now and I will NOT spend 8 hours a night changing a letter around to find the right pastel pink hue for a font to be readable on a certain background pattern. I cant afford to pay for a site. I'll just pay for my domain and then link to my free site from the first page on. Suggestions????? THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! xxxx Iza

1. Freewebs.com. I'm not sure if it's .com or .org so I would google it and then click on the first link.
2. try wordpress.com Look around their docs. Go to http://learn.wordpress.com and see if it might suit your needs. I can't speak to other free sites but since you like the simple theme this might work for you.
3. If you really just want a website with a few extra pages then WordPress is probably the best. If you want to learn more, you can find all the information in http://www.freewebsitehost.org/
4. Hi Iza, Wordpress.org is free and so is Google sites. You can create simple pages from there. Hope that helps, Elaine http://www.enzolina.com/web
