I've been wanting to make a website for years now, and I just don;t know how to do it. Does anyody have any sites where I can get some help or something? I don;t want it made by someone else, and I just can't figure it out without any help. I know quite a lot about HTML stuff, but deffenitly not enough to create my own site.

How did you guys get started? I can design stuff, so that's not the problem..

Well, if you know basic HTML, like tables or divs, then you can pretty much just go at it. One way to start is download some free layouts and just dissect the code. Learn how to position elements, and you can start from there. Also, viewing other websites source code can help. A lot of people will tell you that taking a little bit of someone elses code is stealing, but unless they have actually gone to a copyright office and have legally gotten their code copywritten (and you don't rip their whole site) it's completely ethical. That's the whole reason source code is there. So find some websites you like, check out their code, and base your structure on theirs.

Hope that helped a little bit. :)

yep lissaexplains.com is the place to go! xD
Learn how to make layouts (and code them), then you can go and get a domain, or get hosted with someone with a domain. There are plenty of places to look for tutorials on scripts.

http://www.w3schools.com/ is my new love. It gives codes and teaches you how to code with html, xhtml, css validly.

I also recommed lissa explains.. that's where I learnt :)
Another great way to learn is to get a program like dreamweaver or frontpage and it's more like a drag-n-drop type of thing (kind of like using Word? Like click insert button or insert table etc) but you can see the code while you're doing it.. I learnt a lot that way.

hmm... EchoEcho.com seems to be my favorite. It's very organized, very professional and I reference it now and then when I just can't remember something. I don't know when it was last updated, though. There was a big revamp, overhaul, beautifying thing done and then... it just seemed to go 'dead'. I never liked Lissa explains for a second, though : / I don't think I've been there in like 8 years or something. It was orange and pink and that was it for me. I never learned anything at that site.

Echo, always a rebel, never agree with the rest ;]
Thanks for the url!

And yeah, I think my brother has gotten Dreamweaver somewhere, I'll ask if I can put it on my pc too, thanks for the tip Linda *thumbs up*

*goes to check out everything*

We all know the real reason you prefer a site called EchoEcho :)

Heh, actually, I found that site because a friend of mine had been asking me to teach her HTML for weeks. I don't really know how to teach anyone anything and had been saying yes soon and thinking of how I could start to teach her and then one day I said alright lets go, and she said, 'Oh! No, it's o.k.! I found this site...' and linked me ot EchoEcho. IT was so weird to have been hearing, 'Echo can you teach me HTML?' for weeks and then have that be the end result ; ) It's also, of course, extreeemmmeely easy for me to recall the URL ; )

I learned from dissecting people's layouts and from random tutorial sites. (at the time jennyspage and emily's world, but they aren't around anymore)

Then again, my coding is terrible. So I reccomend Lissaexplains. xD

*cries out loud* I'm never gonna understand this!
I've been wanting to make my own website for so long! I've had websites, but my brother made those for me, and I just want to do it myself this time :(
I get so confused reading all these tutorial thingies. I just wanna be able to make a website combining codes and just pasting stuff on the page. But even dreamweaver is making my head spin..

I'm terrible at this..

Ofcourse, I never understand those people who were born in a country, and lived there for 10/20/30 years and then don't remember how to speak the language :/
Also, I only moved here about a year ago :P

Bedankt Matt ;] Ik zal er meteen naar kijken :D Jeej!

AGREED! I wish people would stop linking that place, you're just encouraging her. Pixel2life.com or tutorialized.com have really good CORRECT tutorials.

I be writing an unrequested review that should hopefully educate the minds of the pixelfx followers who can't see past the incompetence displayed. ;)

Thanks for telling me that. :o I've been visiting that site for such a long time and had no clue that it was 'bad', since my codingskills are terrible and I can't tell good and bad coding apart.

Lisette, I actually suggest using iframes at first cause they're reeeeally easy and they make a lot of sense, at least to me. Then you can start 'exploring' html from there more and more. Before any of you start jumping on me, I know they're not the best way to set up a layout.. but yes, they're easy. Oh and try to learn some htmltags first. I learned mine from mycu2.nl xD

I also like peachie.nu. Heh.

You're not to blame, it's a popular site for some unholy reason.

I, of course, recommend my own tutorial site (tutorialtastic.co.uk) but it's not really for those with no experience of HTML. Although I do have a basic html tutorial (tutorialtastic.co.uk/html_basic.php) most of mine, at the moment, are aimed at people with a semi-decent grasp of coding. </plug>
