I hope there isn't already a thread about this and I hope its okay that I started it. Well, see I really need to learn html, like ASAP. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a site that I can learn it, or maybe some books or software? I know I can just search on yahoo or something. But I know there are some people on here that know html and maybe they'd know of a best site or something. I need to learn it so that I will be able to design pages in html for a website. I guess this might sound kind of crazy, I dunno how easy or hard it is. I mean I have had some expirience with it on different sites and stuff, hello blogland. But um yeah, I am a fast learner and determined to figure it out thoroughly. I'd really appriciate any help. Thanks!

Microsoft Frontpage is great. You basically build your design with how you actually want it to look, rather than typing it. If that makes sense. It all gets transfered to HTML text so you can still publish the site and also look to see what does what. You could probably learn pretty good with Frontpage. Try to get your hands on that.

hmmm...pretty cool. i'll look into that myself (whenever i get time to do so) as i've been wanting to learn more html myself.

Thanks so much for your help. :) Now that sounds awesome, I have definitely got to get ahold of that.

Microsoft FrontPage isn't that reliable, but it is much better to build a site instead of type it.

Those rock, thanks so much!!!

You're quite welcome! :)

just throwing in my 2 cents...

Frontpage is from the devil. Granted I haven't looked at it since Office2000 I think, but the code that it generates is absolutely awful. If you really want a WYSIWYG editor, Dreamweaver is better but still far from perfect.

People have already listed a lot of sites to get acquainted with HTML, so I skip those. Once you get the hang of it all, w3schools.com (http://www.w3schools.com) is a great resource that I still use now. If you're really serious about it, Designing With Web Standards (http://www.zeldman.com/dwws/) is a must-have book. Read it sooner rather than later... that way you won't have to unlearn all the wrong ways of doing things so many people (myself included) get into. If you've already been doing HTML for a while the wrong way, this book will completely screw with your head and fly in the face of most everything you've ever thought about web design.

Hey Will, thanks so much for all the help. I most def. gotta get a hold of that book.
