I learnt HTML by example in Word 97 believe it or not. Notably my HTML skills where very lacking, but you get that. :)I processed to notepad then to frontpage and dreamweaver. Now i use a mix of dreamweaver and editplus (notepad like thing for those of you that dont know :()

I learned HTML about 9 years ago by picking downloading small websites onto my own computer and playing around with the HTML. When I changed something, I'd look to see how it had affected the page. I'm more of a hands-on learner, so that approach worked the best for me. I'm not too keen on reading through 1000 pages worth of "How-to's". I just like to jump in and try it for myself. :rolleyes:

I learned HTML by books and by trying, i just maked a little example of a webpage and makes everytime a bit more. At the end i had a complete website, but it's still not totaly finished.

I mainly learned HTML by looking osmosis. I honestly don't know how I learned but I think that it was a combo of most of the various methods, except for taking a class. My "skills" however, aren't really that good. My code is sort of HTML 1 class tags linked to a simple CSS style sheet...

I learned HTML through this site called Lissa Explains like a month ago, when i was 14. :rolleyes: I was pretty desperate to skin my xanga, so my online buddies suggested me to visit it, so i did. the tutorials are mainly for kids, so it's very easy to understand.and i mean,really really easy. the site makes learning HTML fun and easy.

I started teaching myself html about a week ago by taking a copy of the source code and the acual web page of random sites. I have been reading through the html line by line and attempting to line up the coding to what it did on the site. I did not have a free webpage at the time so I logged on to my old neopets account, created a guild, and started experimenting with the stuff I learned. I'm still rather new to html, but I have learned a lot in the time I have put into it. I would have to say that I rely most heavily on simple tables and absolute positioning to create what I need. Anyways, thats about that.Matt, the almighty Norwegian, signing off :rolleyes:

I had one of those really bad computer classes back in elementry school (canadian school so it goes up to grade 7)anyways I learned a class called "Computer Tech" its more like a freaking keyboard class but near the end we learned some HTML, likejust the body background basic stuff.I never went anywhere with it after that, which probably explains why I need a coder to get any site strated now days. I might just crack open a book and not relay on other people but now there is that whole PHP, XHTML, Flash and stuff just sounds like too much work for me :rolleyes:

I first learnt HTML in 1998 when I wanted to do a personal webpage (back in the days when I and my friends thought that everyone actually wanted to read about us and our interests....)I started by using a book and typing the HTML into notepad. Infact I still do that to this day. I prefer to do that rather than use Frontpage or Nvu etc. I feel like I have accomplished more by doing it myself, and it makes sure that I don't forget any of it. I eventually added some javascript (little messages in the status bar, alerts and onmouseover effects) and left it at that. Then when I decided to set up my own business, I realised that the little I did know wasn't going to be enough. I needed to know php for form-to-email and database control. I also looked at perl for counters and password protection (although I now incorprate this into the php and databases).I have always found that the best incentive to learn is need. If I didn't need to learn all of this, I probably wouldn't have bothered.

I started off by reading a book, which told me the basics. It was quite old and outdated, and never wnet past the basics at all. I was able to make really basic pages with text, images, etc, but nothing amazing.Since then, I taught myself. Sometimes (not extreemely often) I'll look at a pages source, and plough through it, figuring out how it works and teaching myslef new tags and techniques and so on.
