Yea, the learning curve is the beginning is a bit intense

I absolutely agree with the others, you'd be doing yourself a huge favor to take the time to actually learn basic html. Step away from the html editor and learn to code. Once you get started, html is actually very easy to learn. And once you've learned html, using an editor is okay because you can keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't screw something up.

Think of it as learning to walk before learning to run...

Myself, I still hand code every page. Started out using dreamweaver and figured out early on that I needed to know the code. Once I'd learned how to code, just never bothered going back to the editor.

Also, definitely validate every page you build. Again, it's a great way to learn what works and what doesn't. You'll also find that validated pages will usually display correctly in all browsers.

As to css, you might want to leave it alone for now. It's a complication you don't need in your early learning phase. But, definitely plan on adding it in later one you have html down. And Ronnie is exactly right...one of the beautiful things about css is not having it in the code. But instead pulling it from a single off page file
