Finally I decided to use the email/web services of macosx.com and now I realize I simply have no clue about website hosting and developing and everything else that comes with it.
My questions:
How do I prepare a website, upload and keep it up2date for free? Remember: have no clue about anything, so the easier the better.
How do I automatically upload iphoto pics to that site? Again, a freeware solution is desired and if possible, a solution where I simply have to choose the pics in iphoto and press a button to upload them. :)

Thanks!
 
Ok, seems I am not lucky again.
Software (plug-in for iphoto) installed fine. Went to http://www.macosx.com/account/ and pressed Start edit gallery. Worked fine (got 2 mins). Went to edit my account. I have to type a login and a password which doesn'T work. I tried all combinations, but I simply can't log in. So, I just pressed cancel and suddenly I was in the gallery. Pressed login and somehow I managed to type a new password and got an email. After that it appeared that things were ok. So, I tried the upload option for iphoto. The account was recognized and logged on. Fine! Tried to add a new album and suddenly there was an error reported (something like 501). Ok, I thought maybe this has something to do with those 2mins. Logged in again on http://www.macosx.com/account/ and started edit gallery. Tried again to setup an album over the iphoto plugin, but it didn't work; same error. Ok, I just skipped setting up an album and tried to upload a pic. It was showing me the progress banner, but didn't move at all. I actually picked one pic reduced to 800x600 and I was waiting for more than 10mins maybe. Am on DSL here..
Beside that, I have no write access on my webspace. Is that ok so? :) I even tried all folders. Mounted the volume over safari and the finder.
Thanks!

Btw, I still can't login over http://www.macosx.com/account/ and -> Edit. Which login is that??? None of the login password combinations worked. :(
 
Thanks Bob, but no luck. :( Even tried Administrator and administrator with both passwords..
Should I message Scott?
 
Ufff not even Plesk login works (not sure if it ever did). It says another person with the same login is already logged in. I logged out from www.macosx.com/account and this was the only place I logged in. Brrrrrrrrrr. Darn!
POP and SMTP work just fine and ftp login works as well, beside that it's really slow and I can't write anything anywhere.
 
Once more: thanks Bob.
And thanks Michael. Gonna check one by one to see which costs the least clicks to publish the site. ;)
