I've tried using Dreamweaver, only got so far as to know I need to upload files, but I have no clue what I need to do after that. I'm more of a hands on after I see an introduction. The site I'm building is from a friend who is too busy and he hosts the site thru his own hosting. The site is completely bare, so you see what I'm starting with, nothing. Is there some sort of screenshots I could see on how I should type things out on notepad or whatever, or some certain prog I can just upload to the site and do everything from the site itself? and if so where would I upload it? I need basic a basic newbie explanation, I catch on quick, but like I said, I just need a jump start.
 
You don't need to upload any files until you are finished.

If you know basic HTML, start there. Make a document with basic stuff, fill in your content. Align it and such. And if you know CSS start using that to go in and style things a bit neater.
 
You can set up your own server (localhost).
Try VertrigoServ maybe

Then you do not have toupload anything, just copy-paste 🙂
 
Microsoft are releasing something called WebMatrix which to my understanding is to help people who aren't experienced programmers with not only learning programming but also with publishing their sites and configuring their hosting environment. I have only found time to install it not actually try it out but it sounds like it might be something you could look at.
