Well, I've just started using drupal, I've been trying to figure out how to add my first page etc. and I'm not really get the results I need.
My website is www.lucassavoie.com
As you can see, theres nothing there. I don't know how to change that or make my homepage. I'm familiar with html
pretty new to making sites.
It's basically a website to show my art portfolio for colleges/universities so all I need to do is
add a few art pieces up and put a few comments on them.
Any help will be good help, thanks for those who chose to help me.
Cheers,
Lucas

Not sure if you realize it, but there's no drupal at that url.
In any case, once you've installed drupal you can add pages from node/add and set your home page at admin/settings/site-information. For attaching images you'll probably want to use the imagefield module (added to core with d7) but you can just as easily use the core upload module and simply enter the img tags into the node manually if you want to keep it simple.
One more question
Thanks for the help, how do I add the directory or whatever after I tell it what I want my front page do be.
Like it says lucassavoie.com/drupal/Example, but I don't know where to add the page in drupal files.
also, where can I find nodes/add, I've been looking for it in my drupal admin page but can't seem to find it.
Thanks again.

With drupal all content is stored in the db so there are no real 'directories' only paths. As I said above, you add pages at node/add -- that is a path in drupal. If your drupal install is at http://example.com/drupal then node/add is at http://example.com/drupal/node/add.
You should probably take some time going the through the getting started docs-- it'll end up saving you time in the long run.

Oh I see, I was really confused because I installed drupal through godaddy and I don't have a drupal/node, should I make one? or do I have essential components missing?
