www.w3schools.com is the place to start learning.

I learnt everything online with free html code lessons which then help you go forward and find things for yourself. There are sites like freewebs which walk you through for free, but best sites are ones created by yourself by scratch.
Depending on what type of site and what content you want to add, depends on where you go from here.
So, what you creating? how many pages, links, images etc??

Use Dreamweaver for creating a new website and use reference site is www.w3schools.com. And also use inbuilt template design and CSS files, its beneficial for you.

That's a bad idea. Learning to actually write the HTML would be better than relying on the spaghetti code DW produces..and the OP would still not know how to build a site, let alone debug it when it inevitably blows up.

As usual, beautiful advice. PLEASE don't use DW! Learn how to do it right instead of learning how to get around doing it right and you'll be better off in the long run even if it means a bit more effort to start with. "There's never time to do it right, but always time to do it again."

Start with "Learn HTML" in the upper left. When you finish that go to "Learn CSS."

When I code, I use Notepad++ as my editor and keep one or two browsers open but reduced (use ctrl - in Firefox and IE). This way a little over half my screen is code, and the two browsers are stacked on one side. I hit the browser refresh buttons whenever I want to see what my code looks like.

Yeah w3schools is good. There's a lot of info there, though. I'd use it more of a library, than a place to go when starting.

I've written a guide for complete newbies. It's in my sig if you're interested.

I think it's also important what to not learn when you're starting out. Don't go learning Flash or anything yet.

Take the following advice to heart.

Table based html is an outdated way to create websites and table-less XHTML is the way to go.

In order to use XHTML any WYSIWYG such as Dreamweaver or Mac I Web will not be a benefit to you except for maybe previews.

I code all websites from code these days and it is much better and cleaner.

Good luck, you have joined a great forum for support!

Basically you just need to come up with a game plan. My personal game plan when i first started out was to make a template. It doesn't matter what it looks like when you start out... The only thing you want to accomplish is understanding the syntax!

How does one learn the syntax? Well there are different strategies to this... It really depends on how you learn.

My advice is to go to w3schools.com>>HTML
Make a template out of tables since you don't know css yet.
What should your template consist of?
-Banner
-Navigation
-base for your content
-footer

Doing these things will give you a pretty good idea of html. But when you do this, realize that tables aren't used to actually design a website. It's to put raw data into and that's it. Once you feel somewhat comfortable with it... Dive into Cascade Style Sheets.(CSS)

What is CSS? It controls the style and looks of your website. But don't worry about it too much. If you want more information. PM me or post another thread when you get to that bridge. Good Luck!!

you must learn and understood the idea of HTML
what it is mean ... after that everything will be easy to know and learn

the first step that you go to every page told you something about HTML and . read every tutorial talk about HTML

and YOU who will d'isere which the next step ..
you maybe learn CSS after
or you find your self interesting in design by photo-shop after


so go and learn and read more about HTML
good luck

I may be new here, but I think I can offer some helpful advice. While w3schools is a great way to learn HTML, the best way to learn is through viewing source. Anytime you visit a webpage and you find a piece of content that you like, view the source of both the HTML and CSS involved. Most HTML is very close to normal English and because of that you will eventually see how certain tags product certain results.
