Yes...Wordpress if definately the way to go.

ShirAdivi - If you can code Action Script in Flash, you should have no problem learning HTML. With programs like Dreamweaver, they have Code and Design views so most of the time...what you see is what you get. I had ZERO HTML experience when I first started at my job. I was kinda thrown into it and learn it as I went along. Looking back on my first website design (I'm not even going to show you the link) and looking at some of the things that I'm doing now. It's Night & Day. If I can do it, you can do it.

Also on a side note...I use a Host called http://www.DotEasy.com They have free webhosting for up to 100 MB (which is quite-a-bit for a basic website). You pay more for the domain at DotEasy ($25 per year) but it's better than $8 to $10 bucks per month at other host sites. The down fall is that DotEasy's free webhosting has its limitations. Like it does not support PHP or MySQL. However you can upgrade. Which is what I had to do to install WordPress into my website. DotEasy also has a few built in web tools for people with little or no programing or database experience. Like contact forms, web polls, guestbooks and more.
