I have AOL, but not as my main ISP. I use PW's account when I'm away from home, but usually I dial up with Freeserve. I think they give free webspace too - will have to check.
I checked Free Parking and, although 'www.aer.co.uk' has gone, 'www.aerbabe.co.uk' hasn't. (Obviously using my real first/last names rather than my PPRuNe ones!) I'll register & pay for them when I get home. Presumably there are other sites where I can do the same, for a similar fee? £9.99 for two years seems ok though.
That tutorial looks like a good introduction, thanks RTFM.
