On an ephemeral evening, I tell a story to my friend.

Reflected behind my closed eyelids is a sweet field. Dauntless, I embrace you lovingly. I am together with you.

Out of love, I forge a pact with you. Like a breath, the wind will envelop you. You and I will be together wherever we go.

The heart of red will be enfolded in wind and forge the contract.

If you make the site with YahooGeocities, it's pretty easy. the use a What-you-see-is-what-you-get program, so you can just drag and click pictures and what not. Back when my site was running, that is what i used.

As far as what to put in it, it depends on what the site is going to be about. I can give you mre tips if you give me a couple more details...

www.daydreamgraphics.com Has some good layouts, as well as some tutorials. Back when I was making sites I'd go there, get a template then change it to suit my needs so I didnt have to start from scratch.

i'm planning to put up gallery with images and anime download links in this topic:

http://www.capturedwings.net/forums/index.php?topic=2825.0

and thanks Ashlee and Senefen for the layouts, i'll check it out

edit:

i just found a layout that looks really nice, i think i'll use this one for the time being: http://komettails.net/divs/016/

edit again:

when i try to add text or download links in the layout by right clicking on the HTML file and then click edit i end up with this:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/c5w9uu

the layout gets distorted

I use mostly freewebs for my fanlisting websites. It's really simple to use, and pretty straight forward  :keke:

Get a free layout at a grahpic site. Upload the zip file onto your web storage place and unzip it . Then everything's just like.. there.

Yep, that should work. I do the same, with my own layouts. They always work for me.

Freewebs is good, when you are making a fanlisting. You can only have 50 pages in the webspace area.

If you want to really learn from scratch, this site may be helpful to you: LissaExplains

^_^  It's a very good site that I would highly recommend to others.   It use to not have that pop-up, but ah well, what can you do with advertisement deals these days between hosts and masters?   *sighs*  >_<;

Well, I personally think Freewebs is the best free hosting site out there, or at least one of the best. Before I got my own domain, I used to get hosted by other people (you use FTP for that), so perhaps you can ask some friends that you know can host you. Although if you're just starting web design freewebs should do.

If you want to make your own layouts, just fiddle around with images on graphic programs. I use Adobe Photoshop (like 90% of the world xD), but Paint Shop Pro is pretty good too and it's simpler than Photoshop, perfect for beginners.

Good luck!
