You use a simple text editor which will set the html up for you, and paste the source code (the google doc's wordprocessor source code), into that section. Highlight what you make, copy it in between the <body> and </body> portions of the html. Set your title, and name it index.html, then upload to your "site".
Another option to make a simple website, is to use word-press. Install the Suffusion theme. Make a page, not a post. Save the page without columns. Set up a a header image or title. Then just go through the settings until you find set static page as your front page and link to the page you already made.
These are simple solutions, which work amazingly well - and it's almost what I did, when I started out making sites. I actually started with Netscape, since it had a WYSIWYG editor, and then for tuff stuff, used google docs to paste stuff in. Till I found phpbb and mkportal, that is. Then I made a forums, which worked well, till I saw it start to die, and switched on over to word-press, which is still where I am at now.
To make a cool looking logo, try cooltext.com, save as a transparent png file, unless you plan to make your own grafix.
I will keep being subscribed to this for a week, to see if there are more responses...
