[ale] web page creation app

[Jeff Hubbs]

I was going to say that HTML and CSS perhaps ought to be tackled 
together.  I bought two SitePoint books, WEB SITE THE RIGHT WAY and THE 
CSS ANTHOLOGY, in order to make some sense out of it all - I'm not at 
all a Web developer and what little I've done lately I did with gritted 
teeth, but it was clear to me that CSS in conjunction with HTML for 
either static or dynamic content is definitely important.

Or, if you plan on a heavy-duty system, go with Joomla.  Chances are, your host will already have a "three-click" install.  Never _that_ simple, but you can have it installed and running in under five minutes.  Seriously.  Give it a try.
