took a computer tech class this year and worked with both html codes and dreamweaver....
html codes are very hard to use and you wont come out with a final prouduct that looks anything like a web site made with dreamweaver but it should still be fun.... good luck

Yea I made an html site when I was about 10 years ago when I was in middle school. Back then that's how a lot of simple sites were done, but they look like crap.

here is a, what i would call extremely helpful link.

http://www.opera.com/developer/wsc/

if you take the time to actually read the articles rather then just copy the code you will learn a lot more.

as for forms, here are some links to help you build the front end of web forms

now that i thought before i posted, im not sure if those two articles will be much help to you because they are the absolute basics of forms.

but the Wed Standards Curriculum is can be really useful

^^ this, such a great site

for getting php to send messages, I would use the PHP mailer class http://phpmailer.worxware.com/

its way easier than using the mail() function or trying to use SMTP
