Yes, Ant1. This is the better way! I dislike template too... but it is interesting to use one if you have not time to develop. Me, I learned all alone, with my friend Google obviously ! I don't use Dreamweaver. All of my tools are completely free. I work only with :
- PSPad (text editor)
- WampServer (virtual server)
- Photofiltre (image editor)

My websites are all handmade. I am beginner in development.
An exemple : http://woolyss.com/

Good luck!

ant1, The thing i'm on atm is a html hoster, that lets you edit the html file like a code, but it also has a option where you can edit the site just like dreamweaver or something.
I guess I'll try wordpress, but i just don't like the favicon up the top.

EDIT: Infradead that looks pretty cool! The thing i'm on uses something like that.
Now all i need is a more easily accessible and faster way to upload my html file to the internet. I need a webhost.

i'm kind of confused?

are you looking for dedicated hosting?
or some kind of editor

a what you see is what you get type editor?

wordpress has html editors, you cna jsut copy the html code into that and update as needed.

I am really confused about what you are saying. I think what most people (me included) are recommending is either using something like wordpress, or making your own website in something like Notepad.

For "html uploader" I don't really know what this is but I use an FTP client to upload html files that I already made. An online "html uploader" where you edit the html from within your browser is an interesting idea. The only one I can think of is google sites: sites.google.com , but they are fairly restrictive with what you can and can't include on your page.

Wordpress + Artisteer = WIN

All I want is to transfer my website from the html i'm on to a new one. I just want a simple html uploader that is fast and easy to edit pages.

Is it a blog, or an artist website, or something else?

Wordpress, tumblr and notepad are the three best things you can use.
Which you use will depend on what your website is for.

If you're really lazy, you can draw your website, scan it and slice it. (http://10kfreemen.com)

I believe simplicity is key.

Agree with the others, you should try Wordpress! Get yourself a domain, with hosting, and a template to start with (or learn how to create one from scratch). You can do a lot with wp... my portfolio (http://www.papernoise.net/) for instance was made using wp and a template I bough from the web.

@Ant1 and pixls
Yeah that's what I've been doing, but sometimes the one I'm on is really bad and it doesn't save, so all the changes I made have to start over, and you have to refresh if the background has been changed since you last viewed the website, but I really like the little html editor in it. Does anyone know of a good html web hoster?

Ditto!

yeah, you can start with a template and totally muck around with it, they usually give you the html/css for whatever template you're using

It really sounds like you would be better with some hosting space and making your own site! For HTML editors you can just use notepad or whatever.

thats true, but flash intros are even worse

I'd suggest paying for web hosting and then upload Wordpress as your main site. Wordpress is a great skeleton that you can customize your site with. There's also thousands of themes for it. I have always used wordpress, my current site is very simple though but that's the way I like it: http://robpoke.com
