starting a web page

[funky draftsman]

I've been cruisin' the "info super highway" for a few years, and recently have decided to try my hand at starting a web page. Is there anywhere to go online that has some sort of help guide for newbies? kind of a "web page for dummies", but more along the lines of "web page for dummies that don't want to get off their asses and buy that damned book".

Well it's relatively simple once you learn the basics. What helped me was finding an online library of different tags and their attributes and then I just experimented. So for javascript, vbscript, and html reference I point you here:

Buy a web-design book. They show you how to make the webpage and techniques for making it look good!

I know this already and don't own a book... It's not hard to piece together code.

For me, HTML 4 for Dummies was a lot more informative than a lot of websites I found. To be honest, though, you still need to find some good web references because no book I've seen explains [em]everything[/em] well.

Hard to piece together code? No. Piece together code and make it look good? Yes.

I mean, I can piece together a website using basic tags and all that. Hell, I could probably make it look somewhat good, but that's after years of practice.

It is also a good idea to get a good web design program like Dreamweaver 4. It is invaluable if you want to speed up the creation of even basic sites.
