If you really feel the need to use frames on your page, this is one of the better places to educate yourself. This guy's motto is `learn by doing' so you are taught by example and will probably be an expert in not time.

A place for your Web site

Geocities

Rating: 9/10

Looking for a place to set up your own Web page? Geocities offers free Web sites to anyone wanting to set up a Web page. There are a few restrictions -- all quite reasonable -- the most important being you can't use your site for purely commercial purposes. The sites in GeoCities are organised into 'neighbourhoods' based on a common theme or interest. If you want to build a site that focuses on your love of nature, pick a vacant building lot in the Rainforest or Yosemite neighbourhoods; or perhaps you'd like to rub shoulders with fellow computer enthusiasts in Silicon Valley. Geocities also provides online HTML editing tools -- although you'll probably find it much easier to edit offline and upload your pages -- and a simple uploading utility to help publish your site (you need Netscape 2.0 for this -- otherwise, you can use a simple FTP procedure to upload your site).
