I have latley been using Tripod to make a new homepage, and although its very simple and easy to use, I find there are many restrictions. Like for instance, I can't use a different font or backround. I have to follow thier format, so I can't pictures and text wherever I want.

I still don't feel comfortable enough with HTML to use free format. Is there any way I can get around the restrictions (escpecially the text and backround), and if not, do you know of any better servers that are as easy to use (geocities doesn't work for me).

Thanks alot.

If you want to be able to experiment with the fonts and backgrounds, you may want to try using Microsoft Front Page. In Front Page, you can type in all of the information for your web site like a word processor and you can use their software to edit your background colors, image, etc.

You can just copy and paste the HTML from Front Page into the Tripod HTML writer -- You won't have to write any of it yourself.

On many computers, basic versions of Front Page are already installed. Check the C:/Programs folder of your computer.
