Thanks for the replies.
I use BT openworld (UK), their web site shows a large section devoted to creating a web page, but with lessons on how to use HTML etc. They say you need an 'FTP' program to upload to them'??? ....what's that?
I have no objection to creating a simple page as it might come in handy one day, but I really don't know how to start. (Just seems like a large black hole in that area of learning).
It would be nice to know of some 'idiots guide' programs devoted to luddites like me.
I bought 'Web Design for Dummies' but was dissapointed to find that it was devoted more to designing a company than a web page, and most of it was hard going to say the least.
Thanks again anyway.
