Re: How do i set up my own website?
As someone who's been around the block 10 times with websites, I can tell you unequivocally the BEST solution for totally professional, VERY CHEAP, and totally user friendly (able to be edited by you, online without having to know anything about code) is Wordpress.
You can use Wordpress as a blogging software, or you can use it as your website templates, and it's totally free and very Search Engine friendly.
After wasting thousands on websites in the past I finally got smart and here's what I did.
Go to rentacoder.com, put up a bid for a web designer from the Philippines to install a wordpress blog on your site.
Bid for less than $50 bucks.
You can open up the search for more countries, but I've had nothing but good results working with philipino dudes. Working with clowns from other countries has been a nightmare.
Then search google for "wordpress templates" and you can find some awesome, free and professional templates for your use.
This is the BEST website solution that exists on the market today, especially for guys like us who aren't web geeks.
I've set up almost a dozen of these sites, so let me know if you have questions.

There are innumerable reasons why FrontPage sucks. It sucked long before it Microsoft stopped supporting it. 
Dreamweaver is not cheap and takes a little longer to figure out. However, it is probably the best software and it is certainly the most popular software that professionals use. If have a student or an educator purchase it for you, you can get $100 or so off the price.
