I am looking to design a personal/promotional website. I have very limited experience designing websites (I took an HTML class in college).
What I want to do is have some pictures, resume and some text pages. I was thinking of adding a blog to the site as well but I'm not quite sure as how to do this. Eventually, I want to add a few small Quicktime pieces on the site as well.
What to I need to accomplish something like this? Quite frankly, I don't want to buy a ton of expensive programs that I won't use. Is there a cheap piece of software out there that I can use or am in the Dreamweaver/Premeire territory?
Thanks for any advice!

For what you're looking to do, Dreamweaver is overkill.
If you know some HTML, look at PageSpinner. It's a pretty nice HML IDE. There are others I'm sure as well.
I have used BBEdit forever. It requires that you really know how HTML works, but that's what I used at CNN.com and what I still use today.

Do a quick search before you post - this sort of question has been asked several times recently.
Basically you'll get a few types of responses:
(1) code by hand - use your HTML knowledge and basic web tutorials to use TextEdit (or similar - OmniWeb has a a great source editor) to code a page by hand.
(2) for what you're doing, it might be worth using .Mac's homepage service.
(3) if you absolutely need a WYSIWYG HTML editor, check out Freeway.

If you choose to go the 'code by hand' route, I would suggest taking a look at Taco HTML Edit which is a good full-featured HTML editor that I've found to be quite stable under OS X.

slightly offtopic: but is there any editor that makes use of the Webkit framework?

In what way?
OmniWeb used Webcore (though not Webkit) so if you use their source editor you can immediately (one click) see how your source will render in a webcore based browser...

A quick and dirty visual solution could be to simply use Mozilla or Netscape Composer, included in the browser suite...

You might also look at Freeway. Personally I've never used it. But lately it's been getting really good reviews from users and magazines. It's designed for individuals who don't really know much about HTML, and don't want to "get their hands dirty" coding anything.
Might be worth a look.
