We had a friend, who had a great website (logging how he had a new house
built (from Finland) in c.2000). Unfortunately he died a couple of years
ago, and now his website has died. Every now and again, someone would
like to view his site.

I have the complete site in the form of HTML and JPG files, and I'd like
to make it available across the web again.

Before you do that check to see if it is still archived by putting the
old URL into the wayback machine. If it is then the chances are posting
a link in your blog (or even here) with a description of what it
contains will make the archive searchable again.

https://archive.org/web/.

I'm thinking I might load it up myself. I already have Google blogs of
my own, but this isn't a blog, as such: it's a finished article.

So maybe I need my own website. Or what?

I'm not a real techie, and don't want to get involved in the nitty
gritty of coding.

You would need a domain name (approx £7 every couple of years for a
..co.uk) and some hosting (about £40/year maybe less if it is low traffic
and you don't require anything fancy by way of support or scripts).

FTP the original site image to the right place on the server and you are
done. If you can find someone with similar interests to the content then
you may be able to put the content onto their site if they are willing.
