I have finally got a domain name and have set up my website. The only problem is I have no clue how to begin. I was given a login to a program called cpanel but I dont know how to start designing the site. I do not know any scriping (HTML,XHTML). I do have Star Office 8 (beta) I know it can write HTML. My question is does anyone know any good website designing programs, books, online tutorials that could help me out.

A lot of people use things like PHP-Nuke, phpBB and things like that.

CPanel is pretty easy, you log in and have to make a MySQL database for yourself.

You can try a program like TSW and NVU as editors.

I would learn xhtml and css if i were you; (and more as time goes on)

I need a good WYSIWYG HTML editor. I just want to get started even if I decide to change it later (Thanks Jo-W for the link I still plan to learn HTML). I looked on Download.com and didnt see anything good. I dont know if anyone here used to watch Tech TV (The new Tech TV is terrible) but they used to recommend one and I cant remember its name. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, but now when you use the search feature on their site all you get is advertisements and other junk.

There is no such thing as a good WYSIWYG editor.NVU is decent but not that good.
