Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
I have just found this forum and thought I would ask for some help (I just hope I am in the right area
)<br />
<br />
I am very new to HTML in fact I know very few things and I was wondering if anyone has any sites or books that they could recommend.<br />
<br />
I would be interest in tutorials for someone with no programming experience.<br />
<br />
Any help would be much appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks <br />

HTML Goodies (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.htmlgoodies.com">http://www.htmlgoodies.com</a><!-- m -->) <br />
W3Scools (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3schools.com">http://www.w3schools.com</a><!-- m -->)<br />

Just go to your nearest book store and i'm sure every HTML book will suit your beginner needs.<!--content-->Originally posted by Rock <br />
HTML Goodies (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.htmlgoodies.com">http://www.htmlgoodies.com</a><!-- m -->) <br />
Please note, though HTML Goodies is a great place to learn, it is so out-dated it's not even funny. So I would not recommend learning much of anything from there anymore. Also, I second Rock's suggestion of picking up a book.<!--content-->Thank you so much for your help but I have just one more question and it may sound extremely dumb but here goes any way.<br />
<br />
I did read HTML goodies and it did help me to understand the workings of HTML.<br />
<br />
I suppose the thing that is most confusing to someone just starting is all the tags. I just wanted to know if there was like a master listing of the most commonly used? or is it just something you pick up on?<br />
<br />
I know it may sound a little dumb but I am only just learning.<br />
<br />
TIA<br />

Karinda<!--content-->Only once you understand HTML can you understand HTML goodies (please don't say gangsta below this buntine , i too am very bored, so I feel like annoying you 
)<!--content-->I think it will be something you pick up on.. <br />
<br />
Check out <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.htmlkit.com">www.htmlkit.com</a><!-- w --> for a great xHTML editor. Once you get the hang of it, you will be fine.<br />

I am really pleased Karindah started this thread - saved me doing it!!!<br />
<br />
I had previously looked at several tutorials - and couldn't understand a word of them.<br />
Then I came across HTML Goodies, and found I could make sense of it.<br />
<br />
I had thought that it was because I have XP Pro, that I had to do things differently. It was only when I read this thread, that I found out the tutorial is out of date!!!! I have just got to primer 3. Should I continue - to get the practise in?<br />
<br />
Guess I will have to get down to a bookshop, too.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have taken a look at htmlkit.com - not that it makes any sense at the moment, but I have put it into my favourites for future reference.<br />
<br />
As for xhtml/coder - <br />
