Although I can't really even remember what it's like not to know HTML, I feel like this is a very useful intro because I've had so many people tell me that it clears up the mystery for them. I think that after you study this a bit and let the concepts sink in it's much easier to go over to HTMLHelp.com and use any of the HTML tags with minimal effort. Take care, John Thereza,

I remember when I was a teenager trying to figure out HTML and referencing sites like yours, including the W3C and other popular ones. Thanks!

I don't actually believe that XHTML is more search friendly than HTML (I think they are equal) but I absolutely believe that CSS should be used for design as opposed to HTML. Having said all of that, I believe that the best first step for people learning is to start with simple HTML, then after getting an understanding of how that works they should move on to CSS and then perhaps XHTML if necessary. John Roy,

All widely-used browser are capable to handle XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.0.I am of the opinion that a clear boundary between content (XHTML) and design (CSS) will be more effective in important areas like search engine optimization, barrier-free access (<a href="www.w3.org/WAI/" rel="nofollow">WAI</a>) to web content etc. John, in spite of your great introduction into HTML, what do you think about current standards like XHTML and CSS?
