Good Website for learning HTML/Web Site Design?

Anyone have a good site or multiple sites to help teach a noob website design and or HTML? I'd like to learn to make websites, so any help on any related helpings will be greatly appreciate....

I am a proficient X/HTML programmer and I learned mostly through Google searching for HTML tutorials. There are TONS of them (I'm not knocking your ability to use Google). However, nowadays, I use [ubf444ab328]W3Schools[/ubf444ab328][=http//w3schools.com/xhtml/default.asp][ubf444ab328]W3Schools[/ubf444ab328] for occasional reference. You probably want to learn XHTML, as that's the new standard. You also probably want to throw in Javascript and CSS in there too wink Oh yeah, books are always good too. Take a trip to your local Borders (etc.). Libraries tend to have outdated books.

You should try one of the "Put a title here" for idiots. They explain things very well.

As for web designing, you can't really be "taught" by someone. It's something that you learn by yourself. Because that way, you discover your unique artistic style.

Like literature, imitation is the best way to learn.

Here's a tip - only spend your time on HTML if you're serious about it. I spent quite while learning it and my sites looked extremely nice, however I don't think my career will have anything to do with HTML.

I don't know though... I may use it for something... someday...

thanks everyone for the tips, I know I could have googled it but I didn't know for sure what to google, i'll be checking out some of those sites )

I am serious about learning it, and it could help me in my career (plus I own a website but don't know how to change anything if I wanted to shock

Don;t mean to blow your stack, but XHTML/HTML wouldn't necessarily be called a "programming language" or a "scripting language" at that but more of a markup language (thus the name). As for what to learn. I learned in this way. HTML to CSS to JAVASCRIPT to PHP/MySQL(not quite complete) and then on to Java. I think this a good approach because they somewhat all build upon each other.

I spent an entire summer doing that once...
...And I still sucked at HTML, but I learned it old school, an' I'm damn proud o' that.

Learn CSS first, you'll gain bad habits learning HTML. Most of the sites that teach it show you bad practices that should not be used anymore and are deprecated.

Do not use any WYSIWYG editor, use a simple text editor such as Notepad++, Context, Notepad, whatever.

Huh?

What would be the point of...learning CSS [i912b69c259]before[/i912b69c259] HTML? That would be kind of awkward...considering in order to use and implement CSS...you have to know HTML.

that's key, you;ll never learn anything by relying on something like Dreamweaver, however I just use it for the color coding and possible debugging.
