Do you want to put up a website, but don't know the first thing about it?  Do you want to know what it takes to make a really kickass site?  Well, once you know the basics, it's really very simple.

There's a lot of page generators out there now: MS Front Page, Netscape Composer, etc.  But once you have a basic page started, you will want to learn HTML to gain more control over how your page looks.

On this page, I'm going to give a basic introduction to HTML coding, and show some basic hints to the some of the more common stuff you'll need.  In less than a week, you should be happily typing away at your new webpage with proficiency and finesse.  I won't guarentee it, however, since you're not paying money, and your finesse is only as good as your typing skills. :)
