Welcome to Webforumz, Stephie!

Hi Stephie, welcome to Webforumz Well it sounds like you've got the design side covered, so you're half way there, now you just need to learn to code (I'm assuming you don't already know how to as you said you are completely new to this!) so why not head on over to the beginner resources and have a look at the various resources for CSS and (X)HTML, and feel free to ask lots of questions!

Hi, Welcome to Webforumz! I am so glad to have you here!

Hi Ya, Stephie, So you found us....we like helping people new at the work and when you are ready...please show us what you have in the critique forum... It is a good place to get fair and honest feedback from experienced people. Fantastic learning experience. Enjoy.

Heya Stephie, Welcome to the forum.

Hi .Thanks for the warm welcome.......Yeah your right Vanessa.I'm lucky the design bit comes easy to me, but all that HTML stuff is frightening.....can any one recomend any good books, at the moment i'm trying stuff in frontpage....so I was thinking, one for that and one for HTML...

Heya Stephie, if you can try and stay away from Frontpage and learn to hand code, here is a good starting point: http://w3schools.com/

Hi Wayne..I'll certainly give it a try...Thanks for the link, just what i've been looking for....How do I know one to start learning...HTML. XHTML or CSS.. or is it a case of all of them sooner or later....Sorry to ask so many questions...

Stephie

When I started about 10 months - a yr ago I started with HTML, and learned all the basic tags and what they actually stand for. After this I started to learn XHTML which is basically the same just that all tags < > have to have and end tag. Then CSS which is used for styling your site layouts, I am currently learning CSS to design the layouts of my sites as I normally use tables for my layouts instead of CSS.

Overall I would say that it is essential to learn all three so that you have a better understanding although most people use XHTML and CSS.

Here are some resources to help get you started:

HTML/XHTML

http://www.w3schools.com/

CSS

http://www.w3schools.com/
http://www.css3.com/

VALIDATING SITES

http://validator.w3.org/

As for a HTML text editor I just use Notepad

Hope this helps.

Very much so, Thank you for your time...You may not see me for a while .So much to learn

No problem, like you when I started I had so much questions and so much to learn, and since I joined the forum I have had even more questions and found out that I still have so much to learn myself. lol
