I was going to add the following info to this thread:
1st Affiliate Website? Where to get it? How to build it?
But decided it's really filled with so much great information I should start a new thread.
This comes from James over at the InsureMe blog.
If you are a Newbie or a SMART oldie - you'll soak this up!!!

Taking the Plunge – Getting Going in Affiliate Marketing - InsureMe Affiliate Blog:
"For a person thinking of getting into the affiliate business, I think one of the biggest first steps (and point of procrastination) is getting a web site up and running. I know that this can be a daunting task for most…what should the domain be? What will the site cost? How can I design a site when I’m not a designer?
In the spirit of helping affiliates answer these questions and get on track for success, I offer you these links to help you get started on your next (or first) affiliate project:"

One of the things James mentions in his blog is a
FREE CMS (content managements system - I.E. Easy web site builder). I have been looking for good easy free CMS and I had not seen this one before - it looks GREAT!
He says "An awesome, free content management system called Website Baker that can give you an easy to use, reliable, and professional looking site in no time."
Here is the
Website Baker site:
Website Baker: Start - Introduction
Here is a LIVE demo you can play with to see if you like it:
Website Baker: Start - Demo
And there are a TON of free templates:
Website Baker: Addons Repository - Templates
He also recommends Godaddy for registering domains, my personal preference is Namecheap.com.
