I am very new at this. I made a web site layout, but I have no idea how to put it on my site. I don't want to use bravenets, and I don't know how to make links or anything1
Get some web editing software
Open the program
Type
Save
Upload
OK its a bit more complex than that but thats what it comes down to. You can't use the Wizard to create your own layouts but nobody ever said you had to it.
Download a program such as NVU and experiment on your PC until you have a design that you like then get some web hosting and upload the files.
