My first suggestion to you is learn HTML and CSS. Learn them so that you can code them by hand, without the help of Dreamweaver or any other WYSIWYG editor. Don't get me wrong, Dreamweaver is great, but if you know the actual code, your life will be MUCH easier down the road. I use Dreamweaver for most of my work, but I always find that I am editing some of the code to get it just where I want it. After you master HTML and CSS, try out XML, DHTML, Flash, etc. You'll find them all a bit easier to learn after you have a good base knowledge of HTML!

As far as WHERE to learn it, I would suggest a good book or two as a reference, and then just dive in and try it. Plenty of good books out there, just log on to Amazon and do a search for HTML and you should get hundreds. Read the customer reviews for one that fits your learning style.

Once you learn the basics, I have yet to find a better resource than this forum! The people here are fantastic, and will answer just about any question you can come up with. I guarantee you will have quite a few! Best of luck!
