What I did was look at other people code and learned HTML the hard way. I tried using templates but when I put in my pictures and other content, the template broke and the page looked scrambled.

Here's a link to some freeware html editors that you might find useful.

--> Just stay away from alpha and beta versions as you really do not need those. They haven't gotten the bugs worked out yet.
--> Also, search engines don't really use meta-tags anymore, so don't bother loading your meta-tags with key words. However, you will still need the meta-tags for browsers. Its better to have a really good and long title for your page.


The best place to validate code is at www.w3.org. You can get a complete output that tells you where the errors are. They also have free tutorials.
After April 10th, I hope to have more time so I can help people with their HTML where I actually know the answer.

Best Wishes!

They have classes up at our local tech school which I was hoping to take eventually, but I suppose if I can learn it from a book I might as well go pick up a couple and just buckle down and learn it.

I'll admit it, I wanted the easy way out so that I didn't have to push back my 'launch date' any more. *sigh*

Thanks for the advice and the recommendations guys. I'm off to  learn HTML!

I should have figured that. Well, I guess I'm off to pick up a copy of HTML For Dummies.

You can learn anything from those d**n books. That and they have it at the library. Hooray for free!

Thanks for the advice. I'm glad you saved me from wasting my money (especially since I couldn't figure out how to use most of the d**n programs!)

Anyhow, thanks again. I'll let you know how the self-educating goes! Maybe I'll eventually post up a review on the best books to learn HTML from.
