Hi. I am a newbie in website development. I really want to learn how to build my own sites. So while doing some internet research over the topic just few moments back, I stumbled upon your two sites – http://www.2planawebsite.com/ and http://www.2createawebsite.com/ . So far they seem to be quite helpful. I will keep you updated how I am doing. I hope you will help me out from time to time. That will be of great help. Thanks

Thanks Lisa for your quick response.

Now I understand why you select html/css.
I have to take refreshing course! I love it but it was hard…. I really worked hard to earn that “A”…

Web builders like iWeb are fine for the short term. But when you know HTML and CSS you can do so, so much more and you aren’t limited to a builder. The homepage of this blog was designed by hand using CSS and it’s great because I can do anything I want and there are no limitations. It’s always best to get a foundation on HTML and CSS because eventually you will want to branch out beyond the builders. It also helps for troubleshooting.

Hi Lisa
The information you shared had inspired me (websites, blogs, and videos). You have provided us with stacks of information and I thank you!

I have become so overwhelmed in my niche, “photography”. It started as a hobby and then exploded in my face as a business. Yes, I have a regular and will keep my 9 to 5, but my passion for photography came out of nowhere (point &Shoot camera and an inkjet printer). I know have my own professional slur equipment as of 2006 to now!

My FIRST question today or suggestion is this: I took a HTML/cuss class in college and found it very difficult and challenging (too tedious – too many codes)… I build my website using iWeb. Is there a particular reason why you love, like, or chose html/CSS? Was it difficult or complicated at first? What motivated you to use that or did you use Dreamweaver to build your site?
Thanks Lisa!

Just like a lot of you, I had absolutely NO experience but I learned on my own by slowly picking up things here and there. I bought web software back in 1998 and studied other people’s sites by right-clicking and choosing “View Source” on the browser. That’s how I started learning. Little by little I began picking up things and brought me to where I am today.

There is enough free info out here for you to learn without taking a course. But some prefer to learn in a more structured environment where they can ask questions. So it’s a personal choice.

I agree with Sherry Walling, is it worthit to take local courses or not…
I,m a civil engineer, have no clue of web coding. your comment will be apreciated.
Im from Puerto Rico and my question is, which is beter, a local page (state, town) or a global page (usa, worldwide)?

I appreciate so much you sharing your knowledge…someone has told me I should do a website for a talent I have discovered I have..but, I have no clue where to start..so, I found myself here..I will be watching and have so much to learn..I did not plan a very good retirement plan..and, I will be needing to provide for myself in later years..so, I know I must learn..I am a very willing learner..can I learn everything online or should I take a course in computers at a local votech school..and, what should I take? Appreciate your time helping us find our way around..sincerely, Sherry
