HTML

I took an intro to HTML with my school.Try and find a course, its easier than a book.

just read it on the net. anyone has the capability to teach themselves anything. you just gotta put in the time and effort.

If your interested in learning web design I'd do the following:

Start in notepad!
Dont start off using tools like Dreamweaver or Frontpage. Though they are definatly handy down the road, its best to learn how to code on your own, so you understand how it all works. That way there wont be any problem you cant fix with your site.

Make projects for yourself
The best way to learn is by doing, just make projects for yourself to keep you busy, you'll learn more with each one. Oh, and sometimes its not a bad idea to 'bite off more then you can chew'. Go try something you think is out of your league, it'll help you fill in the gaps... and most of the time you'll realize most things in web design arent that hard to do.

Find good resources
Find some good resources to check when you are stuck. There are a lot of good web designs forums out there too, with a lot of people willing to help.

Hope that helps

i mean, it seems rather redundant to have to pay somebody else to tell you to go read something when you can just have a little discipline and read it yourself.

yeah...search html books online..im taking a class in at my school..the book we use is pretty straight forward...just be prepared if you use a book to do dumb shit at first...but it helps non the less

www.w3.org is the people who basically make the html standards, so if you arent sure about something, they have the answer. also, www.w3schools.com is a really good site wit tutorials for pretty much every web scripting language ever. i recommend them. and also, pick up a book at borders or wherever, that will walk you through pretty much making a whole site from the ground up. if you have any questions, there are a bunch of us on NS that could help you out.

thanks guys, I appreciate the help! I'll let you all know if I need any more help!
