HTML is a code - Hyper Text Markup Language - the way to create and link web pages.  The links are the key to making the world wide web happen!  Quite simple to learn - view 'page source' on any of my pages to see how I built them.  I learned by doing this and used one library book.  \n\nhttp://www.homebusinessadvisers.com\nhttp://dogs.homebusinessadvisers.com\nThis one uses wordpress and HTML:\nhttp://www.myasianpartner.com

It would be nice to know the inner workings of how html, browser, and internet works.\n\nThen learn some HTML or JSP and then move up to ASP and PHP. You can learn JAVA if you want something more dynamic or maybe even VB if you want a flashy site.

i agree use http://www.chami.com/html-kit/\n\nyou are better off knowing html than using editors like dreamweaver. what if you signed up for a web tracker and they gave you an html to put in your page. if you can't write html you can't alter the code they gave you to look the way you want it to look.\n\nHere are examples that you can experiment right on the web site. Even though you can experiment here you cannot save the results to your computer unless you copy and paste the code into windows notepad and save it that way.\n\nHTML Examples\nhttp://www.w3schools.com/html/html_examples.asp\n\nCascading Style Sheets Examples\nhttp://www.w3schools.com/css/css_examples.asp\n\nThese pages will help you understand what HTML tags(commands) and their attributes you can use in your pages.\nhttp://www.w3schools.com/tags/default.asp\n\nThese pages will help you understand what Cascading Style Sheets Rules and their attributes you can use in your pages.\nhttp://www.w3schools.com/css/css_reference.asp\n\nDon't be surprised if you don't learn HTML/CSS very fast. Most of us took years to learn to use it proficiently. Even now after 10 years I still don't know it all since it keeps changing all the time.\n\nAfter you have experimented some on that site then do the following.\n\n==============================================\n\nLearn HTML/XHTML & CSS - Learn to write your own pages by hand it's easy.\n\nFREE!

JUST BECAUSE YOU SAW SOME SOURCE CODE WRITTEN A PARTICULAR WAY IN SOMEONE ELSE'S PAGE DOESN'T MEAN THEY WROTE IT CORRECTLY. MORE OFTEN THAN NOT YOU'LL FIND THAT THEY DIDN'T WRITE IT CORRECTLY. BUT LOOKING AT OTHER PEOPLE'S SOURCE CODE IS STILL A GOOD WAY TO LEARN. IF SOURCE CODE ISN'T WRITTEN THE CORRECT WAY IT CAN CAUSE OBJECTS TO BE DISPLAYED IN PLACES YOU DON"T WANT THEM IN OR EVEN CRASH SOMEONE'S BROWSER. NETSCAPOE 4.X USERS ARE THE MOST VULNERABLE TO CRASHING. MOST OF THE TIME BROWSERS A VERY FORGIVING WHEN IT COMES TO BAD SOURCE CODE. BUT WHY TAKE CHANCES. THE MORE CORRECTLY YOU WRITE YOUR PAGES THE MOER BROWSERS THEY WILL WORK WITH.\n\nPaid Online Courses:\nhttp://www.hwg.org/\n\nFREE! HTML/XHTML Editor:\nhttp://www.chami.com/html-kit/ \n\nFREE!

Send image files, movie files, music files in the binary mode. There is an automatic mode that is supposed to detect the type of file you are sending. But it isn't always reliable.\n\n*** HERE IS HOW I LEARNED HTML/XHTML/CSS ***\n\nWhen you come to a page on the web click "VIEW" at the top of your browser and click on "SOURCE". If you are using Internet Explorer browser the HTML source code will open up in Windows Notepad. In Notepad click on "FILE/SAVE AS" to save the page's source code to your hard drive. In Internet Explorer click on "FILE/OPEN" to open the source code in the browser. Go back to notepad and remove some of the code and click "SAVE". Then in Internet Explorer hold down the "SHIFT" key and click on the "REFRESH" button on the brows

There is no need to find any HTML Codes now a days. There are many softwares that can automatically write HTML code for you. FOr example you can use programs like DreamWeaver, MS FrontPage and manymore. They can write the HTML code automatically without even knowing it. Dreamweaver especially is the best software that beginners can use. I hope you find this answer helpful. \nThanks

Even though you're planning to write your website w/ a WYSIWYG program, it's good to know how HTML works, by learning HTML from its source. A good reference is the http://www.notepad.com (this features simple tutorial, advanced reference go to w3cschool) and http://www.w3schools.com/ .\n\nMy advices is:\nLearn HTML first, then CSS, then learn XHTML, then you can move on to client-side scripting, and last server-side scripting.  (To complete this journey, you may need a year or more, most people would only need to reach CSS or XHTML level which can be learnt in a few weeks, and a few months to perfection)\nDo your Hello World website with Notepad.\nTry to avoid using WYSIWYG program while making website, use simple text editor (recommended program: Notepad)\nIt is good to lay aside your burning spirit in making a website for a week or two to learn html.\nGet a good HTML program\n\nThings you should avoid:\nI don't want to restrict you in making a website, but I know that most people would prefer an informational and useful website rather than a website fully dedicated to yourself, so if this is what you're planning, think twice. If you're planning on other things, Welcome to the Underworld of Internet.\n\nA rule of thumb when choosing tutorials, if the tutorial page's layout is messy, find other tutorial site.

To use for a website mostly it depends on what your most comfortable with. HTML is the standard web development language along with a bunch of other add ons like php, javascript, vbscript that allow you to make more dynamic web sites. In the end it just depends on what exactly you are trying to do and what you are comfortable with.
