If you want to set up a web server yourself (that is, run a website on
your own hardware) then you have a long (but very fun and very
educational) road ahead of you. We can answer specific questions about
Ubuntu-related difficulties you may run into. Start by googling though.
Expect to spend a few weeks reading and experimenting, and DO read up
on securing your website.

If you just want a website, but don't intend to run it on your own
hardware, then there is nothing Ubuntu-specific about the exercise at
all, with the possible exception of the tools you use locally to create
and manage the content. Again - use Google to find out what tools are
out there and try a few out.

Either way your best bet is to find a real person in your area who
already runs a website and see if they will mentor you. Get in touch
with your local computer clubs, IT interest groups and so on, but (and
this is the important bit) be ready to give as well as take.

Regards, K.
