Designing a web site

I have been designing a web site using FrontPage but I have no idea about the HTML language. Can you give me some suggestions on Web sites and books to get some basic information about using HTML.

MS Frontpage? The software should do everything for you.

Although Frontpage does everything for you, it's always good to know what's going on under the hood.

You can try these sites for some tutorial/reference on HTML:

http://www.webreference.com
http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/teachingtool/
http://www.htmlgoodies.com/
http://werbach.com/barebones/

Or you can download books from www.informit.com (sign up necessary, it's free though)

These are just a few sites which I found on Google. Happy coding!

Thanks for the imput. This site blew my socks off. There's almost to much good stuff there. http://www.w3schools.com/

Try learning to code a website by hand using nothing but notepad - that way you will understand what is actually going on.

I second that. You might want to d/l a reference library (like this one: http://www.htmlib.demon.co.uk/) when you're coding using a text editor. Once you've mastered it, you won't go back to any other HTML ide editors as they are rather slow.. IMO.

If you need reference try http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/ as this has tutorials and plenty of reference materials.

That was one of my recommendations

For coding by hand, I use notetab pro. It's worth the $19 especially for a beginner. Once you save the file as a .htm or whatever, it will color code your tags so it is easier to find where you may have messed something up. It also has a handy toolbar button to preview the page in your browser. (It will color code perl files, too.)

It also has built in libraries of code and you can create your own library of code snippets. I even talked them into getting it for me at work and now about 20 of us have it for all kinds of different applications. It's always one of the first 5 programs I install on a computer at home or at work.

Man, I sound like I must work for their marketing department. I will shut up now.

Woke me up!

Here's the site I did w/ FrontPage a while back. Never took the time for "HTML".

Yeah, I was surfing around and accidentally hit the last page button instead of what I meant and didn't realize it until I hit submit. Oh well, now we get to see the website thewolfe created. =) Lots of stuff on there, I will browse after work!

My site is in my sig.
