I need to create a really simple website. It should consist of a main page and three other pages. I used the PhotoShop 7 Automate>webphoto gallery to generate the 3 pages and now need some way of bringing this all together. Any ideas, suggestion, recommendations, or whatever to go from here? I should mention that I am a bonehead newbie when it comes to html. Is there any site that works like a cookbook: Number 1 do this, number 2 do this, number three do this etc? I don’t need cascading style sheets, php, asp or any other fancy stuff. The web gallery from PhotoShop is fine for my needs at this point, I just need to bring it al together. PS I am in somewhat of a hurry so any fast response woulde be appreciated.

can you upload what you have??to your web space and post a link??
It sounds like you need an index.html page with links to the three gallery pages??

tmmoose is right, sounds like you need a simple index page that provides gallery links.

first up I would recommend avoiding using programs that generate the code automatically for you - at least for the time being. there are plenty of html tutorials on the web and you can use notepad to write the code quite quickly
your main elements are going to be text, links and images
text can be formatted:

links can be created:

images can be inserted:
http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_images
If you are doing a gallery I would recommend saving two copies of the picture on the website, also stick them in their own folder to keep things organised. one copy should be small (say 5k) and the other should be the full size. you can then set it up so a gallery of thumbnails loads quickly and when they click on the small picture they get taken to a page with the full size picture.
there should be enough information in the tutorials above to do all of that.
good luck!

You can also use CSS to make some quick galleries or JAlbum works nicely.
