I started with WYSIWYG editors, but then realised most of them were s*** so just kind of picked it up, I read around the internet for a while, searched google stuff like that, made a series of very bad websites, 'borrowed' some code from other sites, got bored at having to change 100's of <font> </font> tags, discovered CSS and everyone was happy, then I went to college and studied it there (didn't learn a thing), I also used w3schools.com alot, if you want to learn HTML, or CSS I would suggest starting there.

Well, I started discovering the possibilities of making a website in... 1998 I think, I didnīt have even 56 kbps at home so I spent lots of hours browsing webs at University. I have to say that Iīm Journalist so, donīt know maybe Iīm supposed to be more interested in contents than in design.

Soon I started building my own music website in the University... I made a few htmls with Frontpage at home which seemed very easy and Word-alike and transferred it at the faculty. So I try a lot of annoying free webhostings, slow, without FTP and with big banners and popups... I donīt miss those times

Later, as my interest growed I found myself doing a few graphic-design and web-design studies and learnt to use Dreamweaver, pure html, some css and Flash. And with some help with friends I got into a bit of php and stuff like that. But once you know some basics, you can improve with those tons of tutorials that wise and sharing people puts to our disposition.

Now I would like to try a lot of things in websites but I havenīt got enough time.

I didn't learn to make web pages (I will soon). Right Now I use what you see is what you get editors like Frontpage. When it comes to HTML I am a lost puppy in the woods.

Hey, thanks for everybody who answered! I was thinking of taking a class in it, but it looks like the concesus is that lots and lots of people are able to learn web page building just by "picking it up" . A little bit here, a little bit there.

I have some books too. Still debating about taking a class in it.

well if you want to become ones of the business .com websites the school is the only way you can get them high paying jobs.

but what you learn in school is just basic stuff really how to set up everything and what not, so goign to many different website or even looking at the source code to see how its does is always useful, thats how i really start by looking at source code and then save it to the computer and make edits here and there to see how it changes. and then i started working with image maps and frames which didn't last long. then broke off of it for awhile then got back into it again using css, javascript, some vbscript, dhtml and other dynamic coding except for the server side coding.

i think i used almost every html editor out there to see how it works, but i just use note pad about 99% of the time.

think the best thing to learn is css cuz it saves you a lot of time and space for the website.

I was always very curious about how web pages were made. I remember signing up for a free angelfire account where I put a picture of my ex girlfriend (current at the time) and showed it to her.

I then got cable Internet and would surf the net all day. I came accross howstuffworks.com and started reading almost every article on that website. I came accross the "How Web Pages" work article and read it. I learned a few things about web pages. My ISP provided me 50 megs of free space. I used it to learn a few things. I had a "blog" on that space but quit it after a few days. Then I started to look more into the creation of websites. I bought a template for five bucks and signed up for paid hosting (which I can no longer afford) and purchased my first domain name. This was over a year ago. I still have a lot to learn. I hardly know HTML

I was 8, first got my internet - wanted to make websites but didn't know how. Tried using those page makers but it was too hard and didn't do what I wanted..so I found HTML helping websites such as LISSAEXPLAINS, SPARKLE2001(gone) and FUNKY-CHICKEN . I *think* I learned most of the code quick, as I really was determind... as soon as I knew all of the basics I started to create 'good' websites and i got better because of practise...and practice DOES really make perfect, well somewhere near perfect.I think I learnt CSS first though as it's sooooo easy, A LOT easier than any code out there. It's the main thing that makes your site look good, besides good graphics. Also I also had some sort of natural talent of matching colours and making things look colour themed throughout the css code and page...i think it's mainly a girls thing though - as 'most' guys don't know how to compose a site using matching colours.. (incl links, header, hovers, text colour etc.). My websites are still bad but they've gotten better and they're mostly 'my style'.

I was on my second or third yaer at university, when I started designing websites. I was a fan of this blond female acoustic singer from United States (and still I am) and I was amazed by so much number of websites dedicated for her. And so, I decided to have my own and join the bandwago. I don't have background on computers that time but because I was taking architecture, I have more advantage on lay-out and designing.

I started reading my cousine's basic HTML book, where you encode the codes using note pad for me to have an idea on how those scripts work. Then, I've seen my cousin design websites using that one from Netscape (I forgot what it is called). Because that was a WYSIWYG program, the designing has been easier. But I was not satisfied with how it went. I want the website to have frames so visitors won't have to scroll all the way down. So I search the internet and found more stuff on that. then, other prorams followed - Cascadind Style Sheets, Javascripts, Microsoft Frontpage Express, Adobe Photoshop and Imageready and now I am strating to study Macromedia Flash and Dreamweaver.

Then when they banned people ofr doing this i stopped it and bought a book on it read it. Then i learned CSS from anotehr book. THen i picked up php and mySQL from books and w3schools.com
