Default Getting Started Right

Josh,

A lot of us had some difficulty doing web pages at first, partly because there is a lot of out of date and just bad information out there.

If you can spend just a few dollars, try getting Build Your Own Web Site The Right Way Using HTML & CSS, one of Sitepoint's great books. You can get it for much less from Amazon than from the Sitepoint site. You can learn good html and css from w3schools.com as well, but it won't show you just how to go about setting up the web site as the book does.

As for NVU, it is highly recommended by some but if you use a WYSIWYG editor you will still not know what you are doing. You can use NVU in code manner but you can get other programs that I would prefer. I use NoteTab which you can download free and it has good helps that show the code as you work. I use TopStyle Light (also free) for the CSS and run both programs at the same time because it has similar aids showing the correct format for the coding. This approach allows you to see and learn how the coding works while you are doing your pages. At the same time the layout of the code is provided for you so it is not so difficult as you are getting started.

Good Success,

James

I use it and and I like it. If you're having problems I'd look into getting templates. I'm by no stretch of the imagination a designer--I just spent $110 on books to use photoshop and CSS--and NVU has a WYSIWYG editor so I use it to edit templates.

It's full featured but my uses are limited to editing so i can't comment on how it compares to something you pay for.

It works. It's FREE. It has all the bells and whistles you'll need as a beginner.
