Need help from you software gurus !!! Website design software .........

[Balzy]

When I got my last new PC for at home it came with "Trellix" software to build a website. So one night I did and it let me pick a server. Me being tight, I picked a free one. Well now Trellix has been bought out by "Cute SiteBuilder" and when I try to update my site I can't publish it. I think if I buy the new software from them it will work but I don't want to go through this again so I guess I need some software to build and publish the site that's more reliable. Nothing that fancy. Just a simple website for "Balz to the Wall Racing" Can someone give me an idea what I should get? Want it to be simple to use and publish. I use a lot of pictures also. That's a hell of a way to biuld a bussiness, buy a company that have a pile of people using their product, make a change and force them into buying their new product. What a way to buy a customer base. Pisses me off.

Here is a link to the site so you can see what I have right now.http://www.fortunecity.com/olympia/montana/513/

BTW, I will probably stay with a free site provider cause I am tight.

Who is your ISP? Most ISP's give you a 10mb space or so for you to build a website. Look into this, they are much more reliable, and faster than one of them freebie sites.

Sorry, no answers here but as for " a hell of a way to do business " Our company had a specific software loaded worldwide, many many seats, anyway the same thing happened to us, Grace told them to go stick it! Business built on blackmail, what a crock.

My website provider has a web builder on it. It's kind of slow but you don't need to buy anything and don't need to learn anything.
The only problem is the way it works.
You add a picture- the page changes, you load it up and are back again. You add a picture the page changes, you load it up and back again.
You add text, the page changes, you add the text and your back again.
It's kind of a hassle and there isn't a huge choice of looks but you don't have to spend time learning another program.
BTW the UK site is pretty fast as apposed to the domestic one.
They want you to limit pictures to 300 pixels wide but I stopped doing that and put them as big as neccesary.

I found some ftp software that let me make the change I needed for right now.

Techno, Damn it, I think I get some web space from Charter on my cable connection now that you mention it. I gotta check. I think I am going to go far a domain name and do the whole **** up right soon.

If you learn HTML, or a WYSIWYG editor, such as frontpage, you will be much ahead of the building tools most places give you...

Your supposed to be able to publish right out of MS word now, and I made pages with it but nothing with a site. They were simple and went on an intranet at work.
