Could anyone here offer a total newbie a direction to head in for web design? I need to make up a professional / personal site that will look nice and have content (the content part I can do) to promote a book I may finish in the next year.
Have no idea what to try. Author it myself with a text editor? One of those wordpress templates and modify it? How do I attempt this? I don't have a ton of time and have no experience.

I would probably just go with a blog, you can set one up for free with Google and they look pretty sharp; though there are lots of free options if you look up "Free Website" in a search engine. Just play around until you find something that you're happy with.

Checkout Worldpress (it has both free & paid options) or you might check out Wix (I only mention it because I see a lot of their ads). Wordpress as a user is easy to use and looks good as well just be careful of the theme you choose one puts a space for a silly icon/ or avatar in the center of the header section.

Thanks for the pointers. I have a bad head for knowing what people want to see, but I will give it a shot and let you guys know.

I just ran across this and it was posted during the time that I was not online for an extended period. Does anyone know if this ever came to be? hengest has not been on for quite a while. I hope he is alright and that this worked out for him.

Never happened. I appreciate all the pointers but it didn't happen. I don't think I can make it happen anytime soon, either.

Blogger is the easiest blog to do and has adequate customization from what I have seen. You might play around with it, if you have some time and see if you are OK with the interface. I looked at it but I am a couple of years from doing a blog.
