I want to learn how to make a webpage. Where can I start?

(1/2) > >>

jgpaiva:
As my coding snacks list is becoming way too big to not have a centralized download page, I need to learn how to make a webpage.
But my knowledge about creating webpages is null.
So, i'd like to know where can I start, to get some interesting information on how html works.
I'd also like to know where can i get a good html editor/creator, which could help me acomplish my needs.
I hope the good people of DC can help me (as always ;) )

Here is a fun little tool http://www.pinsoft.com.au/teachhtml.htm

and check out http://nvu.com/index.html for free web authoring software.

Alternatively you could just creat a blog page (which would just involve typing!) ... try www.blogger.com which would give you a free website called something like http://jgpaiva.blogspot.com

Are you going the free blog route or paid hosting route?

jgpaiva:
I wasn't very explicit on my first request.
I'd like to buid a page similar to Skrommel's 1hour software page, just a place to keep a record of all my posted coding snacks, with some history and preferably easily updateable.
On the way to building that page, I'd also like to learn something about html and general web-page creation for some common knowledge.

Thanks for the links, i'll go through some of them. I already saw the "teach me html", and it's very interesting. It's just a shame that it's so small :(
Now looking through Nvu.

Hi Jgpaiva,

for a more technical "How To" but still for newbies you can visit:

http://www.w3schools.com/

There you'll find hundreds of tutorials about everything concerning the W3C Standards (HTML, CSS, XML, XSL, RSS, ...).

Every tutorial is written from basics to advanced in sections and often break with some questions/tests at the end to proofe if you understand the former things that have been explained.

I learned XML and XSL from there and i liked it very much.

For a good HTML-Editor you can (beside NVU mentioned above) try the free HTML-Kit (http://www.chami.com/html-kit/) with a good editor and hundreds of selectable plug-ins for automating tasks and helpers for specific tasks. You can select which plugins you want to install and so build your "own" HTML-Kit that fit your needs.

HTH
