    Ann,
    I am in the touch-up stages of my first website. So, perhaps my
    learned experiences will be of help, maybe not.
    Are you using a Mac or IBM? What I did (on a Mac) was use the free
    program Fetch to upload the site pages and images to the FTP site of
    our district. When you begin your site, make a folder for all your
    pages and end all with .html
    Likewise, make a folder for all graphics and store them there, ending
    all with .gif, .jpeg, etc. Your main page - index.html should be
    outside of both folders.
    I used Adobe Cyberstudio. It does an excellent job checking and
    updating links, etc. It also has a built-in ftp connector. At my
    school, the iMacs purchased this school year had PageMill right with
    it. Not a bad program either.
    If you're looking for a good HTML book (it is good to learn HTML or
    at least have it as a resource to check the correct code or override
    WSIWIG editors) get the Visual Quickstart Guide HTML for the World
    Wide Web.
