Hey folks, could use a few tips here. I have a friend that I can't convince to learn HTML (I've tried) so I want to set them up with one of these providers that provides an editor online so they just have to type it in. Since I do all my own coding, I have no clue of where to find a site like this since I avoid them. Does anyone know of any that are light on the ads, preferably with banners instead of popups. Thanks.
Regards,
Savant
[Edit: I'm looking for mainly a simple free solution that I can direct them to in order for them to get their feet wet. Paying for software or sites isn't a good idea since they will still be learning. I figure once they spend time getting used to a free site, they will want 'more' and then upgrade. So right now I need a free provider where they can experiment without needing to spend cash or know html.]

Homesdead has a drag and drop editor called Sitebuilder that used to be free...dunno if it still is. You want to search for hosts that have drag and drop editors.
<edit> Now that I think about, you probably won't find many. The best thing to do would be for your friend to use a free/purchased drag and drop editor like Coolpage, Webdwarf, etc. to make their pages...then upload to a host.</edit>

zoobie or not zoobie...that is the problem
Yeah I used coolpage ,but now I know HTML and use dreamweaver
i code all my shiz in notepad. Buy a book and you are done. HTML is really easy.
Yahoo Geocities is perfect for this situation. It is beginner friendly and has some beginner level page creator-editor (Pagewizards) as well as really simple to use add-ons.
However, I must say that HTML coding is really simple to learn and it offers a greater experience...

There is also www.tripod.com and www.worldzone.net (free)
Step 1) Start photoshop and make something nice
Step 2) Start fireworks and slice up the photoshop creation
Step 3) Start dreamweaver and code the sliced photoshop creation.
I like dreamweaver as you get a visual presentation of the coding. Speeds things up a little.
FreeWebs, previously FreeWebz has a WYSIWYG editor and templates. Only ad is a "Powered by FreeWebs" that must be (manually) inserted at the bottom, but can be done with a click on their (CGI? PHP?) editor. No scripting, but it's better than GeoCities
