HTML is a pretty simple language to learn. There are a lot of books on the market, and there are many, many free sites and tutorials online.

Flash is a fantastic program and allows you to do all sorts of great things. Animation, sound, interaction, etc. It's expensive, but it's really great.

As for my web site, I built everything myself. The pumpkins and backgrounds and everything is from scratch. I just drew it up, played in Photoshop, and then put everything together in Flash.
Remember, it's never too early to start planning for Halloween.

When I was learning to code, one of my favorite sites to visit was this HTML cheatsheat at webmonkey:

Lately, I've been trying to get into Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)... but it's difficult with a limited amount of free time.

I really like the happy-smiling JOL button for 'How to build a rotting coffin' :lol:
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

Well, even if I did take the time to learn HTML...I'd still need a free web host server to put it up on that would allow HTML.

Hey I just noticed, the black cat in the window that you have...I have that exact same one! It sings "Somebody's watching me." I took it with me to hand out candy to the trick or treaters...and it was a real hit. One of the trick or treater's mothers took a picture of it.
It's on page 3 of the photos, and the last one on the bottom in the window.
I got mine one year from my mom as a "Halloween gift."
This probably seems crazy, crazy, a graveyard theory,
A ghost tried to approach me and got leery.
Ask him a question and he vanished in a second...

Yeah, I think I got the singing cat from target a few years ago. The little kids really like it.

Freewebs does. If you want a free domain name just go to http://www.co.cc/.
