There's money in Web Designing, what seperates everyone from the rest, is how good you are with graphics. Anyone can learn HTML, not everyone is good with graphics, although they too can learn if they wanted to.

 

I would be eager to see how your templating skills are, I am currently working on my own Content Management System (CMS) and would be keen to see some good site layouts for it, business, personal, ecommerce etc.

 

If you are interested, just post back, it will be a while before I release it, as I'm trying to race ahead of all the other Managers out there, also trying to implement an easy conversion from other Mangers, just incase people feel their Managers aren't doing enough for them, hopefully mine does.

 

Would be good to hear feedback on what they would like their Content Manager to do, am considering an easier way of placing data, similar to that of Desktop Publishing. If you can use MS Word/Publisher, you should be able to use my CMS the same way.

 

Cheers,

Embarssingly I learned HTML many many years ago from a children's website called Neopets (http://www.neopets.com/) whom have an incredibly simple and effective way of teaching HTML, in categories. I've actually recommended that website to many people simply for learning HTML with. The bright colours and flashing images honestly help you learn HTML!

I commonly use Frotnpage but i ahve used Dreamweaver, i also learn from HTML 4 for Dummies and a book i found in a locl shop. I wish i could learn more of it and devote more time to it. Maybe you can answer my question, why do some of my images put a big blue border riound them. Its kinda annoyting me.

Maybe you can answer my question, why do some of my images put a big blue border riound them. Its kinda annoyting me.

The above written instructions is absolutely correct, using css style
the above written css style border tag written will or is removed
in newer versions like Xhtml, Dhtml , etc
also the above tag instructions are not supported on all browsers
I recommend you to use the Basic & Default one :

<img src="image_url.gif" height="" width="" boder=0>
change the 0 to 1 to show borders around your images,

hope that helps,

hmm, well I personally learned html/java/php/etc through free online templates you get from geocities, freewebs, etc. Then I continued with actual websites to get the finer points mastered. I'm not really into coding as i am designing though =P

Same to me, i m not interested in the codin much, but i am more interested in the designing. I learn html from a range of "Copy and paste" sites (like admins101.com) where they give u html to copy and use for your own site. I first started off by copying and then I could remember them all.

Im more into coding than actaully designing, thats could be because i cant draw on computer or off. Well anyway thanx all for the little help points that you gave me, i have just put some of uit into my CSS so the blue boxes dont appear. When my site is finsihed you can all have a look.

I first learnt HTML a couple of years ago when i first became intersted in designing my own websites. I learnt it here - http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

I would definitely recommend this tutorial. From memory I don't think it has all the parts of HTML but it has all the essentials and an as you go demo for you to work along with. I am more into the coding than design. So I change between dreamweaver MX and plain old notepad. The only other thing i would use is a colour schemer which Lhunath showed me :P .

learning html is just an starting point, if you want to become a webmaster you need to learn more than that. like js, java, perl, php, asp and soon. also you need some graphics skills and some flash animation. even you hate it you are force to learn that or you won't get a job.um... i forgot most company who needs web designer want's xhtml/css in A+ :P

I learned from my computer programming class from high school. At first, they teach you of the importany tags. Then they teach you how to make paragraphs and borders. Simple things like that. Lastly, they taught about some of the more complex features such as tables, forms, buttons, etc.(I don't consider those complex anymore since I practiced them many times) After I switch from notepad to DreamWeaver, I started making pages much faster and with greater ease.
