Need Help Learning HTML

[WalnutMon]

A great web site for beginer's to learn everything they need to know to hit that world of HTML, and for advanced users to pick up some new tricks is www.webmonkey.com
Looking at the source of pages is a great idea, and should not be missed, however, until you get some experience under your belt, most of the pages you view and think are cool will probably go over your head. Not because of the HTML code, but because many of them use cookies, javascript, perl, and other programming languages that add a considerable amount of girth to the site. After you start to get good you will be able to look at a huge HTML document and wade through it to get the information you want.
Another thing you may want to try, after you have the basics down, is to get a program like dream weaver, this programs have short commings, but you can learn alot from them to. if you dont konw how to make a table that looks right, and trust me, table setup can be frustrating at first, do it in dream weaver and see what the code looks like.
the most important thing is to enjoy doing it!

By the way, I just looked at your site and one thing that you will most definately want to do is get rid of those annoying borders that come after you have visited one of your linked images. Doing so is simple, but I remember wasting a long time trying to figure out how to do it! So I hope that this helps, a linked image will look something like this...

<img "your_image.gif" height=2 width=125> <<====== Dont forget the </a> it will screw things up at some point

to this inside of the <img> part add border="0"

so that it looks like:
<img "your_image.gif" height=2 width=125 border="0">

This will keep your images looking clean, and add a lil flavor of professionalism to the site )

Hope this helps, and i appoligize for the *cough*double post*cough*
