HTML is the stuff which websites are made of. If you learn HTML you can write websites.

Like the noble art of computer programming some ability is required. But it is not difficult to learn some of the basics of HTML and make your own web pages.

I could teach you about HTML, but Annabella does it better. See www.annabella.net

There are also some good books about, such as HTML by Laura Lemay.

You don't need to learn EVERYTHING about HTML. Just a few basics will get you started at making webstuff!

In the way of being able to take the back off a watch and see the workings, websites can be opened up to see the workings. You can do this by VIEW/SOURCE/HTML etc. Some sites make more sense than others when you do this. Xyroth Enterprises is a very good example of readable HTML, and the Zyra.org.uk page you are reading now is a reasonably good example! To actually SEE some HTML right now, you can either try VIEW/SOURCE etc (it's on the top left on some browsers), or enter the Guided Tour of Zyra's site mid-stream at Page4

One way to learn more about HTML is to start altering and adapting HTML source-code in web-pages. This is easier than might be supposed. More advanced stuff can be attempted even without having to understand WHY it works. See HTML Tricks

Don't be put off by HTML looking like gobbledegook when you first look at it. It soon starts to make more sense!

HTML is good. It's faster and more efficient than ActiveX FLASH and is more accessible by all computers, Linux-friendly, AnyBrowser Compatible, etc. It's also possible to get at the workings of it, and so is a culture of learning and shared knowledge rather than a culture of sealed-units and protectionist markets.
