I checked your site out a while ago, and it's pretty good. It's nothing too complicated, nor is it extremely simple and boring. It does it's job.

Hi
Is your forum back on?
CanI havethe link?

 

[Nook29]

Yes, my forums are back up now.

There is a link on the 1st page, called Register. If I link again, it'll count as advertising.

Well, HTML is the simplest language, and is fairly easy to learn.

You can learn it all on the internet, so taking classes is fairly pointless when you can learn it in front of your own PC.

I second the "learn at your PC" recommendation. Unless you have already given the various online resources a go (with no luck) -- then you more than likely will get much better results if you learn at your own pace. Through taking a class, you run the risk of either not being able to keep up with your classmates -- or else being bored to tears for 90% of the time.

Ideally, the best way to learn webdesign is by going through a few beginner HTML tutes, and then learning to 'view source' on pages whose design you like. Keep an eye out for design, and if you see something that catches your eye, figure out how it was done -- at least roughly. Also, find a forum or community of some sort where you can have a virtual sounding board for ideas, problems, etc. Everyone goes through a learning process and makes mistakes, it helps to have others around to ask a question or five.

I learned online probably six years ago, so the resources I used are for the most part not around anymore -- one that is, though, is htmlgoodies.com: the 'getting started' section is great for first-timers. PM me if you need more resources or help -- I'd be glad to lend a hand!

another very good one is www.w3schools.com I have found this to be a very good html, css, javascript, etc. reference

I liked davesite.com.

Nice tutorials.

It depends. If you just want to simply design your own site, then by all means- online is the way to go. If you are looking into web design as a career, then I recommend professional training, as most well paying jobs require education (a bachelors degree or +++) and/or experience. Good luck.
