muhren, HTML code is actually pretty simple stuff. You can set fonts, background, even a tune to play when the site opens (although please don't do the latter...it's very 1998 and merits an ass kicking). All you have to do is to start the process to edit the source code on a page. Try to pick one that doesn't have a lot of java code and instead has a lot of writing, with different fonts, etc.
Takes a little practice, but you can learn how to alter the colors, size of text, boldface, etc. Or, you could just use a website creator if your host offers one (and if it doesn't, I'd recommend signing on with 1&1, who charges something like $5.99 per month, including the domain name registration and renewals. Their website creator is so easy to use that I don't even punch out my own code any more.
