How to Customize These Web Pages for Yourself
I have used hand coding and I have used wysiwyg html Editors. Use FrontPage if you have it or if you are willing to pay $70-$80 for it. If not download NVu, a free, open source editor that is similar to FrontPage in layout and action. http://nvu.com
By using one of these, you will not need to learn a lot of HTML. You will then just learn a little html as you go along and as you find that you need to know more about a particular html element. Click the link below to see the short list of html that I think you should be familiar with at first.
If you use FrontPage or NVu, they both have built-in FTP programs which you
use to transfer your customized web pages to your web server. I found the FTP in
NVu a little quirky so if you have trouble using it, get my favorite free-to-try FTP program here:

Points to Remember
The homepage should have a file name of index.html or index.htm.
The homepage should be loaded into the default folder of your web site. The default folder is most often either public_html or www or httpdocs.
File names and folder names in Linux hosting are case-sensitive. Use all lower case when you set them up.
Links to images and to other web pages should give the full location if not in the same folder.
If you see a small box with a red X where you expected to see your image check the spelling and check to see if the location of the image file is correct.
