I have tried using Dreamweaver 8, Which is completely out of my league at the level that i am at. I took a class in high school using frontpage, but i don't think i learned a single thing in that class. If anyone could answer my question, it would be awesome.
Thanks alot,

I've always hated HTML coding, but have learned enough over the years that I'm fairly conversant in it. It's a good skill to have...
I agree with the poster that if you want to do a serious blog you should forget about the free options. I had several blogs hosted on TypePad, which is a service I was generally pretty happy with. You can do things like set your domain name to redirect to your Typepad blog and it looks pretty seamless to the end user. For example, if your Typepad blog address is:
typepad.com/mysite
You can set a domain name to redirect to that, like mysite.com and your visitor will only see the 'mysite.com' part.
That's one solution, but I'm in the process of moving my blogs over to WordPress hosted by my ISP, Dreamhost. It's just a better option IMO--there are plenty of themes out there to get it to look the way you want and if you have some HTML skills you can edit the themes' CSS to personalize it even more.
