<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html><head><title>put page title here</title>
<body>
put page html here
</body>
</html>

but seriously I would start on a pad of paper.

1) layout the web site structure (like an index)

2) layout the general structure of a "template" web page.

3) sketch graphics

4) start coding in firstpage (File -> New Web Document)

5) save the "template page" as a a template to use for future webpages.

Thanks for your reply, but I don't understand what you mean by put html here
...you mean my text, right?

[yes I am serious.....go ahead and laugh....I'm still young enough to get away with ignorance]:p

I meant the formatted html for your website. I would recomend a beginners tutorial on writting webpages, there is just so much info. Possibly a good begginers book, I would recomend "HTML for dummies" (I own it too) the book also is a great reference book.

First you have to understand the tags used to creat the pages. this might help you do just that:

People must be sick of hearing me talk about this now, but I have a site that I did last year for a University module.

The address is freewebs.com/beevshtml/index.htm

It is a HTML Training site. I recieved a Grade A for the said module.

I hope you can learn from it.

Yours,
Beev

I like what you did with the table of links! Thats far more advanced than anything I've come up with thus far.

Most people I know would rather use javascript (yuck!) and images then CSS.

Great Job!

Zero Angel,

I used to use JavaSript and mouseovers to make all of the stylish effects. Now id rather keep it for server side stuff like cacheing, cookies and all the important stuff.

People really underestimate the power of CSS in my opinion.

Yours,
Beev
