A good place to start with learning HTML is Phil and Alex's Guide to Web Publishing - Chapter 5: Learn to Program HTML in 21 minutes.
Key things to note from this:
- Phil's standard HTML page template. You might want to make your own standard template and this would be a good place to start.
- "Now that you know how to write HTML, Dont" In the broadest sense I think he means don't get too fancy and try to separate HTML basic content from style, using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). More on that later.
- Notice the comment about, 'The leading "/" '. I'll return to this point later but it is important in maintaining your sanity through structuring your website well.
- keep it simple
When you've finished chapter 5, Phil and Alex have covered Adding Images to Your Site in Chapter 6. Phil's fame comes from his invention of photo.net, so he knows what he's talking about.
To see essence of what Phil is saying, check out the simplicity and photographic excellence that is his 1994 award-winning travelogue, Travels with Samantha
