I tried Drupal too, although I quickly switched back to
e107. e107 is by far my favourite CMS, although I don't think it's on fantastico so you'd have to install it yourself which can be tricky.
Or, if you just want to make HTML pages, personally I just do that in Notepad. I used to use Microsoft Frontpage, but I eventually just decided to learn a bit of code and write the pages myself.
