IMO, HTML is better and easier to learn how to use than a WYSIWYG program. I learnt HTML 2(?) years ago. I've only just learnt how to use Dreamweaver in a Year 13 course (I'm Year 9) at school this year. It outputs some nasty stuff, and I actually find it harder to use than HTML itself.

i learned html through reading HTML books and the internet. Doing a trial and error through notepad

A friend bought me a book on HTML2.0 and then I diddled on Geocities. I've now forgotten more then I can remember about it and what I do remember is pretty outdated ~ well, not really, as a basic page is still pretty much ...
<html>
<head>
<title>
</title>
</head>
<body>
content
</body>
</html>

*shrug*

When it comes to div tags and additional formating is where I get lost...

And I can't even begin to understand css.

But I do know enough to maintain at least the basic tweaks...as I've added a few things to the vB templates and the like on my forum.

There is soooo much more I should learn.

I would be careful about learning HTML by viewing the source code since it may be Non Standards Compliant

I 'learnt' HTML by trial and error and a bit from W3Schools. I am still a noob (LOL) at HTML and am constantly learning.

Cheers!

I also learn from w3schools.com..still then i cant do some designing work..because i don't do any live project. so without live project this is difficult to remember.
