Well, if you find HTML too difficult to code (I honestly can't see why), but there are always solutions like using FrontPage Express or FrontPage or else DreamWeaver. You'll have to pay some money for DreamWeaver and FrontPage, but you get FrontPage Express for free, bundled with Windows. It has a point-and-click interface for placing things.

Now, if you want a good website, you'll probably have to resort to writing the HTML code yourself, but if you can't do that, then use a helper program like one of those above.

I don't know much aout HTML ...

To save a document as HTMl you have to put ".html" after the name. Example: If your saving your index page you have to save it as... "index.html". And when you have saved it is supposed to be an HTML document. (instead of a Word doc.)

check out that page Tom it is awesome!! Try the HTML Cheatsheet first. Then use the pull down menu to learn tables and frames and anything else ya want.

And I would suggest using notepad instead of Word. And save it as .html like Andres said

Viewing it as a webpage in Word won't make the codes work save it as html and then double click on ur html page to view it from wherever you saved it to.

I don't really know what ya mean there

for a bg image your tag goes in the body tag and looks like this...

<body background="url of image">

and then if you want it to stay in place as you scroll just add this to the tag

<body background="url of image" bgproperties="fixed">
