? about creating a website

[MickeyCrazed]

I am trying to create a website, but I do not completely understand how it works.

I am going to buy a template from a site like templatemonster.com (or similar) because I would like to utilize flash. (And I don't know how to build a regular site let alone one that has flash content.)

Anyway, I understand that after I build the site I have to purchase hosting space through a site like networksolutions.com or godaddy.com.

But how do I upload my website to them? And what happens after I do? Will I be able to make changes to the website anytime I want?

Any advise you can offer would be greatly appreciated. I tried to go to a website/hosting forum for info, but the content was "greek" to me. I guess I need someone to talk to me like a 4 year old so I understand.

Not at all. I have a little bit of an idea on how to use HTML to add pictures to posts or make font a different color etc. Does that count?

I just found your post. I just bought a template from template monster and have a domain name through godaddy.com. Did you ever build a website? I had to download macromedia flash 8 in order to work on the template. its alot of work, going to take me a long time, but i really am trying to figure it out.
