text: i have a domain name already, how can i build my website now?   the next step is to get a hosting service, like yahoo! small business, which i use, but there are lots of others. then you need to either use a webpage builder program like dreamweaver, frontpage, or something like those then upload the pages to your hosting service. or you can write the html code yourself. i've done both, but i dreamweaver is the best program in my opinon and it's expensive so i stick to writing the html myself.  it helps a lot if you know a little about html even when you use programs like dreamweaver and front page. after a few years of teaching myself i finally broke down and bought this book:  http://www.cookwood.com/html5ed/  it helped a lot in my understanding of the structure and functions of the html codes i was using. i also do a lot of cut and paste too, though! javascript is tricky! and i can't stand most flash sites, even though they look really cool most of the time it's just more than what is needed.  sorry i can't give you more help than that - it's not really an easy thing to sum up since it does require a little knowledge if you want a really good, nice-looking, well-organized site.  http://www.clicksandwhistles.com/index2.html  that's what i was able to do with my knowledge. (i haven't updated it in a loooooong time though). it's really just a glorified resume, but it's nice to have something for potential employers to look at online.
