Free (and very simple to set up) websites

Back in April I blogged about ways to set up a free website. I have just come across two new services, called Roxer and WebSketch, which blow the rest out of the water. Each is beyond simple to set up - you just drag things around the page. The WebSketch site has a helpful demo video walking you through the process. And you can do many things which are almost impossible in the other free services, for instance layering objects on the page. The gallery of website examples compiled using either Roxer or Websketch contains some very impressive examples. And your web address is much the same as you would get with other services: eg, http://myaddress.roxer.com I suspect this will not be particularly suitable for complex websites (and in the case of WebSketch, you are limited to 15 pages per site), but for home, hobby, club or small business use (and many of the gallery sites are small businesses), these look to be absolutely ideal. Now, how do I convert my club site from Wetpaint to Roxer?
