Whats a good way to learn HTML?

Start making random website designs to try out doing things in different ways and eventually you'll get the idea on how to lay something out.
Use notepad2 instead of frontpage/dreamweaver so you actually learn it and dont just use wysiwyg editors.

Also try and learn CSS as you go along so your sites can easily have different themes/styles.

Then you can move on to php.

How do you put a link/navagation table on a website like we have here.

Such as home usercp and on.

Also isn't wordpad the same thing as notepad2.

I downloaded it and the exe comes but why is there a reg file

Were still waiting to get the books. They didnt arrive yet.

also in notepad2 how do you get the numbers to show up on the sides. Now they only show up when i use a line. I want them to be on everyline even if i havent tuched it. IN the screens they have on the side the numbers to the side are different than i have.

Make a file such as nav.php, in that put your navigation links.
Then in each page put <?php include('nav.php') ?> where u want the navigation to be.
etc.

Notepad2 has syntax hilighting unlike wordpad...

The only thing is, anyone can learn HTML, and make a crappy website with a teal background and pink text with a flying monkey cursor, and make the screen shake. But how you design the site is what really makes it a website, and the artwork your incorporate into it, that is what will either make or break you as a website designer, not just simply learning HTML.
