starting a website

I am really interested in starting a webite. I've been talking to a lady from church and she said it would be cool to have a website for like the youth group to have so i think i'm gunna create that. I'm thinking i'm gunna start with yahoo's geoCities and try to make one there and see how it goes. I'm also thinking of taking a class on web design a the community college this semester if i get the money. I don't know though. I think it would be cool. I've been looking at stuff on like starting your own like web design business and stuff and i think that would be cool. Just wanted to let yall in on some of my thoughts. I may have a few more posts on making a website with info on actually doing it.
