It doesn't have to be free, I'm willing to pay. Just wondering if there are any websites that could help me get started. It's not for a business or anything. Thank you.

Setting up a Web site is very easy and if you want to do it for free just go to http://www.freewebs.com
If you have specific requirements (e.g. your own domain) then there are a few things you will need to do to prepare to build your site.
You should learn HTML and you can for free at http://www.w3schools.com/
You will also need an HTML editor, Adobe Dreamweaver is the best and comes with a 30 day trial.

The best free one is NVU.
http://www.nvu.com/index.php
Then you need to find a host, I have several of the most popular free hosts listed below. If you need your own domain and you are willing to pay a nominal fee then http://www.godaddy.com would be your best option.
There are a couple of alternatives in getting your own domain without paying. If you don't mind advertisement on your site Microsoft Office Live Basics offers a free domain http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/officelive/FX101534261033.aspx The only catch is that it will include their logo and link to their service on your site. They are hoping to snag a large share of the market by offering a free domain, hosting and 500MB of storage. It will require a credit card to verify your age.
You can also visit http://www.dot.tk/ and register a free domain but it will end in .tk rather than .com.
You could also try a free Web hosting site like http://www.freewebs.com and then use http://www.freedomain.co.nr/ to get a free sub domain. It will redirect the URL to your site without a long difficult Web address.

W3Schools is a great starting point. Learn HTML first.
You'll also probably need to either buy a domain (eg www.yoursite.com) or get a subdomain (eg yoursite.something.com) for your website.
Finally, if you do get your own domain, you'll need "web hosting" too.
