im just getting started and i have webspace and a url on bravenet so what is my next step?

next step would be to make your website :)

I like the Advanced Editor that BravePages uses...
Basicly a built in NotePad :)

Here's a site 4 Web site planning, as well as some good tutorials:

Just go down to HTML Tutorials. Site Planning is one of the first few tutorials.

next step woudl be to dump bravent and get a host worth going to...lol.

i woudl suggest for starting something like tripod, or geocities is very nice for umm beginners. but i woudlent stick with it for too long. however i have had many problems with bravenet in the past, and a very opposed to them...lol
