    I cannot code at all and that's why I have a website that let's me drag and drop my pics and text. Problem is Lycos sucks balls and half of the time the site is down. Their idiotic system has no way for me to log in and see why it's down either, just options to spend more money and get less. Their tech support is near non-existant too.

    Does anyone know of any hosts that let me build my own site just as easy? If I could transfer what I've already done on Lycos to the new host, that would be awesome!

    Any ideas?

    I don't know if I'd recommend them, but I've seen our students using a couple of drag and drop sites.

    Alternatively, sign up to Wordpress and grab a pre-made theme to mess about with. It's a little more involved, but gives you more options to tinker with the underling elements.

    If you want to start getting into web design proper, I'd suggest picking up a WYSIWYG editor like Serif WebPlus X6 to begin with. It'll get you used to the workflow and basics of making a website from scratch.

    When you're ready though; Notepad is pretty much where it's at.

    Lycos are still going?

    If you just want a website quickly, Wordpress, Joomla or any of the ready made CMS systems are probably your best best...

    I wound up just starting over with a whole new site host and domain. The new site (soon to be built) is called mxpc.us
