Question Webpage authoring tips / ideas

Help, I'm stuck.

I'm trying to write my own bit of cyberspace. I'm fed up of using my ISP webspace as a file dumping ground, and am trying to write my own homepage.
However I keep ending up with te same design, which "happens" to look like the ex's fiance's.

Any tips, just want a frontpage with 4 subloadable sections that load into a boxed frame (that I can do).

Its only going to be viewed by freinds and family at the moment, and a photo hosting bit for here and a few other BBS's.

I've tried doing a search on the web but, being at work they are blocking everything except scoobynet at the mo!!!!

I know some of you do this for a living so feel free to tell me to **** off, if this is encroaching.

Cheers
Simon.

PS: I have dreamweaver and frontpage, and have a basic grasp of both, but no understanding of HTML coding direct.

Have you tried looking on Macromedia's website for Dreamweaver templates? I'm sure they used to have a few you could download and adapt yourself (no html knowledge required).

Invest 24 hours in learning HTML, it's probably the easiest thing to learn. Then learn CSS, which should only take another 24 hours, or a couple of weeks to understand fully. w3.org is the place to get specs and info.

Agree with Stevencotton.

Get yourself a copy of Osbourne Complete HTML Reference (by Thomas.A.Powell).

I learnt more from this book in 4 hours than any other source.

Good Luck
