Microsoft Notepad

You have the software, but the question is "do you have the skills?"

Well, like I said, you have the software, now you just need to learn how to utilize it. Instead of spending money on more programs, go out and buy some HTML and graphic design books. Good luck!

Allaire Homesite is another one that you should have - it's the best software available for writing code (if you're planning on getting into that end of it). I don't think it's too expensive. YOu can get a 30 day trial at http://www.allaire.com that, for me anyway, seems to be working for longer than 30 days! 1st Page 2000 is a freebie one that's almost exactly the same as Homesite.

As Justin said though, the next step is to learn to use all that software!

The Macromedia software you have is more than enough to get started. Just start going through the tutorials that came with those programs. I would recommend starting with Dreamweaver as that is the one you will probably be using the most.

Thank you Megan and Chris.

Well, it seems i have the software, so as Justin says, time to learn how to use them.
I am OK with Dreamweaver, but i think i will learn more about HTML before i go on to Fireworks etc. I have the basics, but think it would be wise to understand more.

i will post the URL to the Forum, when my site is finished, fingers crossed
