I checked out that classified ads script that Al linked me too. It
requires MySQL and php4. i didn't know this at the time. In fact I'd
never heard of them!

I would like to do the whole thing with HTML, but unfortunately I have
little knowledge of it. It would enable me to use a much cheaper host
though! With that script though, advertisers can post their own ads,
which will save me some work.

Sgould I look into using Nvu or similar to build this site? Can software
like that help me build a site like I want?

I have a Gmail account, and I'm off to check-out that link. Thanks :)
