Right, I've neem trying to teach myself html and will be moving onto css shortly.

Can anyone recommend a good site to get templates fomr where I can download them and tinker with the code?

Also, can anyone recommend a good editor for html. Been using Notepad++ but it's doing my head in at the moment.

Also, is there anything free which shows you your webpage in one pane and allows you to view/edit/copy the html in another?

And finally, can anyonje recommend any good tutorials that say, take you fomr start to finish of a webpage. Been looking at html but everything has been in isolation so far.

Edit: cheers for any and all help.

You'd be much better having your page open in a proper browser as you edit in n++ - that way you are getting a proper preview of how it's actually going to look, in editor previews are a bit unreliable.
 
Okay cheers guys. The only thing with notepad++ is I can't seem to paste code in properly in the right format.

Anyone know some good solid free template sites. I want to start having a play around with how everything works together

In terms of guides can anyone recommend a guide/tutorial that takes you nform start to finish of a tidy looking site? At the moment learning everything in isolation.
 
dreamweaver cs5 is great, thats what i have been using. u can see design page/code page or split it to see both... there are templates built into it also, templates can be found on a lot of sites but creating one from scratch as you learn gives you a bigger idea of how things work instead of taking a template and changing a few things about imo.

Thats what ive used for my last few websites.
 
Great cheers mate. I've bene struggling with a book to learn and understand the basics but need something which takes me through a project form start to fiish to understand better how it all links in. Was thinking about doing it backwards, getting a template and then editing to suit and picking some stuff up that way but not sure.

will have a look at CS5
 
It's very much a hand holding book. It starts at the very begining and walks you through theory, tutorials and explains why you are doing things the way you are.

It also works very well as a quick reference book which is what I tend you use it for now.
