I suggest you learn to use Wordpress as your first priority. There is not only a shorter learning curve, but Wordpress is far more powerful and diverse. Once you get used to it, it is very easy to use. You need to have your own Domain Hosting set up (you can get a free blog, but if you're serious, get your own Hosted Blog) and then you can install Wordpress on your domain. Let me know if you need advice on how to set it up.
But learning to earn money online is not just about learning to make a website. I suggest you get a complete manual from someone trustworthy.

I like how HappyWife just pops in here & there in the midst of this trade discussion of the underlying hows & mechanics of web site design, with a "hey there, if you want to make a living from traffic on a web site, use SBI, etc.," and the discussion just rolls over that interjection. Very amusing. HW is honest to admit that she is out of place in a purely technical discussion: she just likes the idea of a product that seems to work "out of the box." Just MHO.

 I'm glad I can bring some amusement to your life!
I had to go back and read over this thread since reading your comment. My previous posts in this thread are over a year old. Still all very true, but guess what?
I'm actually learning more and more of the dreaded coding and about to launch a fourth site. I've almost talked myself into abandoning my precious block builder and uploading my own html. Horrors! 
The inner debate has been fierce. I'm really very comfy with SBI's blockbuilder and it's like giving up my security blanket in many ways.
Hmmm. Decisions, decisions. This is the last week that I've allowed myself to dither over it. I'm starting the site next week officially, so I've got to climb down from this uncomfortable fence!
Wish me luck!
Angie

Someone mentioned Joomla here and that is what I used to get my basic site set up. No extensive coding needed, which works for me, but oh it was a challenge learning how to make things work and I still have oh so much more to learn. I will have to keep that w3school program or whatever it was in mind though, it sounds like a popular way to learn. Thanks for the indirect tips.

You can go to Weebly.com and create a free account. They will allow you to build up to two website free of charge. It's pretty much a drag and drop program which makes it very easy to use even for beginners.
By searching in google for terms like weebly tutorials you can find people offering free videos that will walk you though setting up a basic website.
