I want to make a website, but I don't know what I should use. I want to make one for free, and I don't know any HTML.

Any ideas anyone?

I'd say learn HTML =P

Sorry, most of the free site-building engines out there simply suck. And those who don't, well, are waaay to expensive (think Adobe).

HTML is no problem, I learned it when I was 12 from a simple web tutorial.

any tips on where to learn HTML?

College.

Seriously though---just do a google search on a Beginner HTML tutorial.

Ok seriously, if you want to learn HTML, there are several FREE sources that you can tap to learn new code. But before you begin searching there are some things that you need to know.
1) web browsers to not all display the same, so code standardization and validation is of upmost importance, if you want everyone to be able to view it.
2) There is vast difference between HTML, XHTML Transitional and XHTML Strict. All the best sites out there are also using CSS otherwise known as Cascading Style Sheets. If you are looking for something similar, I suggest learning XHTML because regular HTML, although still operational, is only being supported because of backwards compatibility. If you want to learn how to code for the future, learn XHTML then learn CSS. I can give you more information as you learn. I recommend learning it in that order too so you can understand CSS without over bearing yourself.

I learned XHTML first using a book and am currently learning the finer points of CSS. The following sites are free information.

www.w3schools.com

A great FREE site, and a must have for learning proper skills in coding. Use this to start learning XHTML and CSS if you don't want to go and buy the books.

www.w3.org
Use the HTML Validator on this site to check your work to make sure you are XHTML 1.0 Transitional at least... Although HTML 4.01 is out there, you still want to code at the XHTML level. The main difference is in the tags.

HTML uses physical tags while XHTML uses logical tags.
Check it out, and let me know what you think. I don't get on here a lot, but leave Kitty a message if you need to get a hold of me.

I learned html during school and at home. if you want a freewebsite look here. www.freewebs.com or angelfire

graphics gets the peoples attention better

so should I learn HTML before I learn XHTML?

And just keep working. Hell--the mag looked like sh*t when it was first started, but Ix kept practicing.

Thats true

well, I started the HTML tutorials on those sites that Asian provided, and it doesn't seem too hard.

The only hard part is remembering all the diferent tags.

HTML tutorials will only provide the foundation for XHTML. With basic HTML you can see your work come to life, and start understanding XHTML, but when you make the switch, physical tags change to logical tags, and then you could get confused. I know I did at first. Markup languages are not difficult to master at all once you know how things are put together. If you want to start with HTML, it's a good place to begin, but I still recommend starting with XHTML as that is where the industry is today. Once you master that, then move to CSS because then you have flexibility to do a hell of a lot more stuff. Do not learn CSS first, because a lot of it is based on your working knowledge of XHTML and how the tags relate to the style sheet. You can probably even view the source of the mag here and see how CSS is laid out once you get into it. Internal style sheets and external stylesheets make your site so amazingly flexible that by changing a simple file, you can drastically change the way your site looks! I am only beginning CSS and I already can see the benefits of having an external file control the way the site looks. Especially if I have to change the way something looks.

I think I'll finish HTML, since XHTML requires you to understand most HTML.

The only real free place to do HTML is really Myspace... But even though I do have it, I hate it. I just use it to keep up with friends that I could otherwise, not.

I looked quickly at XHTML. It just seems like a "correct" version of HTML. Like what would come out if you wrote HTML really, really cleanly.

That is what they advertise XHTML as, a Cleaner version of HTML
