Wayne, If you want a quick and easy way to put something on the internet then I suggest that you have a look at http://www.tribalpages.com/ .
It has several advantages: 1. It's free 2. No programming required 3. You can load it with a Gedcom - giving you absolute control over what you show 4. You can password protect - hence you only need allow people you wish onto the site 5. Photos can be added Our previous suggestions on using html were when it was thought that you wishes to send out a CD.
