I've known a few who are currently using Joomla. I know nothing about it tho.
http://www.w3schools.com/ is a great resource and completely free training site to learn all stages of website building from the beginner to the advanced.
http://www.w3.org/ is the World Wide Web Consortium which is basically the international governing body on all things to do with web coding. Not a great learning how-to site but an invaluable resource to understanding all things web based. However, they do have validators which will scan your codes and point out errors.
Lastly, but my favorite is http://www.webmasterworld.com which is the end-all be-all forum site for webmasters. Any question you have can be asked or more than likely has already been asked in those threads. You could spend a lifetime reading and learning over there.
I have created many websites, personal and ecommerce alike, and can lend you some advice if you get stuck or have a question. But to create simple text and photo pages you should have no problem. In fact, with todays WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) programs you don't even need to understand HTML coding. You basically move text and photos around the editor as you would in Word then upload the code to your host. Fin.
There are many free WYSIWYG editors online. Just google for them. If you really get into it and want a professional program I'd recommend Dreamweaver.
Good luck! :clap_1:
edit: almost forgot. You mentioned wanting your own url. If you want that then you'll need to purchase one and secure a host to host your site on their servers. For a single site I would recommend using Godaddy.com. I think the url purchase runs around $10/year and hosting varies but you should be able to get something in the $10/month range. I know some first time builders like Yahoo for both as well.

If you buy a domain name through GoDaddy.com you can get "Website Tonight" site builder software as part of their deal. It is really inexpensive compared to anything else I found online.
It seems to be one of the easiest site building packages available, as you don't have to learn any HTML coding. I'm using it now, but our site is under construction so you won't see anything yet at www.firedupseaside.com
Just go to www.GoDaddy.com and take a look...
Or call Kurt, his websites always look better than most anyone elses in SoWal!

Thanks! for all the information! I will let you see it when I am done!
ummmmmmmmm ok, this is for the bahama house
And then you can show me how to do it???
Just because you buy a domain name does not mean you are getting hosting. I use dreamhost for my site and they give me a huge amount of storage and have their web photo gallery quick install. I pay $120/year for storage and my domain.
Yahoo small biz...I know the "techies" shutter but they are great - a bit more pricey but if want ease, they have won "Best Of" awards for it.
