Since you are already a site admin...I'll probably be telling you something you already know. If so, it is for the benefit
of the other listmembers.
Unless you already have a lot of pre-formatted documents (i.e.Wordperfect or Word) you want to serve, the easiest thing to do
is to find something you like (designwise)on the web, download its source code, and modify the content between the tags.
That will also give you an appreciation for how the dang thing works and you can *fix* the HTML that the commercial filters
and translators treat poorly.
You can use something as simple as Windows Notepad or DOS Edit; a nice next step up is HTML Assistant; giving you pushbuttons
to insert tags so you don't have to type <stuff>. Write me and I'll find the URL to download it.
