Website
Hey guys I know you probably get this question a lot but, I want to make a website, and I don't have any experience doing this. I have a iMac and i was wondering if there is someone you could refer me to or a site that will show me how to do it. Thanks.

I suggest reading up on HTML, CSS and maybe a bit of JavaScript. Also, a bit of image manipulation skills and some artistic skill will come in handy. For dynamic pages you'll also need some PHP or Perl or ASP or JSP, plus a bit of an understanding of how databases work. (For some of this, the tutorials at w3schools.com are quite good for a start, see links at the end)
Then there's the question on how to deliver it to the masses. Is a small static-page-only hosting enough, or should there be a database? Do you need your own domain? If you're expecting heavy traffic, will a virtual root-box suffice, or do you go for a full root-box?
If, on the other hand, a small, static, simple page is enough, start with this template and modify as needed
Code:
<html>
  <head>
    <title>My first page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h3>This is a heading</h3>
    <p>This is a paragraph</p>
    <p>This is a <a href="https://www.unix.com">link</a></p>
  </body>
</html>
