Why so against it though? HTML isn't hard to understand. Like I said you can set it up in an afternoon. With any tool you have to learn how to use it. You use some website builder you aren't going to know what all of their gui functions do off the bat either, you will have to read up how to do what you want in their way. Might as well learn to use the right tool for the job which in this case is probably the easiest programming language there is. You basically write paragraphs of text and put in links to where the image files are and some tags and that's it. It's so easy.

Or you can just not approach it, that's fine too, I don't care what you do. I'm only trying to be helpful.
