Seriously Though
w3schools.com is probably the best place to start, if you have absolutely no knowledge of html.
NVU is a free .html editor that a lot of people use. I knwo some people that really like XSitePro, too.
Or you could just go the uber-easy route and use WordPress. Any hosting that has Cpanel, should have an easy install of the WP software. There's not much of a learning curve, it's easy to do just about everything, and there are about a zillion different templates you can use to make your site look like something.
Hope this helps more than a dick in the ass. :jester:
