<strong>A couple of questions.
1. Are there any resources out there on how to GM an online league?
2. How much html/web design do you have to know to run a good online league website (links to standings, league leaders, etc.)? Is there a good program or tool that could let a non-techie maintain a suitable OOTP league website? If not, can anyone recommend a simple HTML guide to get me started?</strong><hr></blockquote>
Killer's links about the FAQ's are dead on, so I'll try to help some with question 2. If you have no knowledge or experience of HTML, I would suggest getting an account at Yahoo Geocities. The site is free, I believe they give you ample space for a league, and their zip file policies are reasonable (all of this is hearsay since I've never done it myself). I've seen several leagues that are hosted by Geocities, and have never heard too many complaints. The biggest reason I suggest Geocities, though, is because you don't have to know a lick of HTML. There's a tool called PageBuilder that allows you to simply drag-and-drop most items you would want, such as pics that you've uploaded, text blocks, links, buttons, counters, etc., pretty much anything you would want or need. You really don't need to link many items anyway. When you upload your OOTP3 .html files, they are already formatted to link to each other. You simply need to provide a link to the league.html file and it has built-in links to the other pages.
Edit - Corrected several typos and grammatic errors. How did I ever pass English class?
