    Hi Paige

    You might consider using a WordPress site as opposed to a straight HTML page. WordPress has an online editor that you use to post content to your page, you don't need to know HTML. If you can write a document with Word you can probably master WordPress in a few days.

    Html pages can be edited in an standard text editor, like notepad. Just look for the text you wish to change and replace it.

    But I agree with the other posters, if ou do not know html, then you should consider using a cms (content management system), like wordpress, joomla, or any number of other systems.

    Many of these cms programs will have plain wysiwyg editors so that you will not need to know any html at all.

    If you want to learn html, just google search "html for beginners.".

    You can also get an HTML editor that is WYSIWYG so the formatting of a page is just like working in MS Word or other programs like that. They shield you from having to know the HTML code that makes up the page...

    I use an Excellent editor called Dreamweaver. It is very powerful, but I would not recommend this to you as a starting editor... It has so many features that it would confuse you to start out with it.

    Better to find an HTML (WYSIWYG) editor to start off with that handles just the basic things you want to work with.

    After you gain some experience and learn some basic HTML (go to w3schools.com to learn for free) then you can start moving up to more powerful, feature rich, editors.

    Have a Great Day!

  • Yes, as others said wordpress is a great way to do this, it is basically just like writing a wordpad document.

    Also, depending if you are wanting to put anything else on your site besides just content you can consider using a nice stand alone CMS like Joomla or Drupal.

    These will allow you to upload content, as well as alot of other features.
