i googled it a few times and cant find any sites that are great.


is there a website that just shows you different things in HTML and how to do them? I remember a few from computer class, but i forget the more advanced stuff.

It will serve you well. Did you learn a bit of CSS?

On the right under Learn there are some tutorials. Good stuff.

CSS, no i wish. thank you two though!

 

[Lalabadie]

CSS is simple, really. I gained some basic knowledge of it and it really helped me out. Cleans up the code, too.

This is one of tutorials from the link I provided.

Basically it allows consistency for formatting the text/layouts in your web pages without having to code it every time.

Cascading Style Sheet

Basically, it's a way of organising the look of your page to work with styles and dividers. Instead of continuously writing new type characteristics, you create styles which the page will refer to every time you call them.

Your .html file will then only contain the essential information, and every style will be defined in a separate .css file.

You can visit Zen Garden to see for yourself. The html content never changes, but you can switch the CSS file using the menu to the right.

IIRC, htmldog has a nice introduction to CSS.

CSS is pretty powerful. You should learn how to do it. It allows you to set style guides for your pages, regarding fonts, layouts, and a lot of other stuff. There's a pretty good dev site for Dreamweaver on Adobe.com's website. Check it. Those tutorials are pretty good.

I built my web page with CSS examples from Invalid Link Removed. Everything is updated manually, and I like it. Total control.

i would definitely try to learn the code if you have the time. if you don't know why things do what they do you won't be able to fix issues when they arise...

Aye,
I have a problem with coding, i can look at any code and troubleshoot it and understand what's it's doing but when it comes to starting from scratch... i just can't do it.

+1 to that. I started out manually coding HTML, and still use it to tweak pages when Dreamweaver does stuff I don't want it to.
