You can get free web space from many sources,
such as Yahoo -- if you are willing to put up
with advertising on the page.
But I notice that your email is sent via att.net.
Most ISPs automatically provide web space for
their subscribers. If you are already paying
att.net for email service, you are paying them
for web space that you aren't using.
And one major advantage of HTML web pages is
that you can have decent graphics instead of
those unreadable diagrams made with -, +, /.
For an excellent free graphics package (plus
an excellent free HTML editor, word processor,
spread sheet, and PowerPoint replacement), I
highly recommend OpenOffice. Version 1.1,
which just came out last week, is much more
compatible with all MS Office formats than
any other system (including MS Office itself).
I downloaded it from http://www.openoffice.org
last week, and it successfully read all .doc, .ppt,
and .xls files I had received from any source.
The older version 1.03 failed on a couple of .ppt
files, but the new version handled them nicely.
