Julius:
It's not that hard to make a simple website.
If you keep it very simple, you can probably
evenget what you want in plain html easier
than with gui tools.
Yes, there are free hosting sites out there.
Geocities, Prohosting, tons of them...
I don't like homestead though, because you're
pretty much forced to do things the way they
made their editor to do them, which is not
always the website you want to make...
Prohosting is very nice, there you can put CGIs
to make forums, polls and searches on your website
if/when you get into that...
