All right, am tired and also betaing, so another quick post today.

For almost three years I've had my website, hosted by someone else and using html that another person created for me. I'm very grateful to both of these people, but my host said that due to real life she doesn't want her name associated with fandom, and I can't argue with that.

So now I've actually got my own site: www.thebackgroundhum.com

Don't bother to check it out yet though, since I haven't switched anything over from my first site. I will do that soonish, but when I'm doing that, I'd also like to change things. I've had that style for three years, and I'd like to change it a bit.

But I don't know more than basic html, and I want to. I want to be able to do this site myself. So I guess I'm asking for recommendations of good websites that teach a bit more complicated html. Something like what I've got right now, but so that I can make my own changes without worrying I'm getting rid of something I really need. :p Also, something intelligible to someone who doesn't understand computer programming that well.

Personally, my bible has always been this site. It's clear, and most of all it's fun, which helps not to feel discouraged. I learned everything on that site, and I think the results were quite nice. ;)

http://www.w3schools.com/ is a good reference site for all web programming things -- just stick to the HTML section and don't be intimidated by the others. And if you're interested in getting into the CSS aspects, I have to recommend CSS: The Missing Manual (I actually have the older edition of this, haven't seen the new one -- you could probably get the old edition for cheap, and it's very good. I used it instead of my textbook for my computer class last semester.)
