So yeah, I'm interested in learning HTML/CSS, but never found good tutorials. I tried Codecademy and W3Schools but never liked those. So yeah, I need some advice.

luigi_vampaGet yourself round your local charity shops and see what books they have. Try to stick to newer tutorials though as they should be html5 and up to date. Also, I learnt just as much from right clicking and 'view page source' as I did anywhere else. Just start writing, you'll pick it up quite easy I'd imagine. html and css aren't difficult at all. It's when you get into php and javascript the learning curve goes way up!.

Tried the 1st step. No success. I think I need to start using "View Page Source". Thanks for the advices.

Oh, he has HTML/CSS tutorials too? I think I saw a 4h one in another channel, but I think it was outdated (2/3 years old or so) so yeah...

2-3 years old is not too bad for the basics of HTML and CSS. HTML5 has most added new tags and depreciated some old tags which should really be done with CSS (things which make more semantic sense to be in the CSS instead of in the DOM). I would still recommend codecademy for learning the basics, read this, it may help.

Edit: w3schools isn't the best place to learn but it really is a great reference guide for all the properties of an element etc.
Also, don't put css on the html page. Use an external file for it.
Stay away from <table> too. try to use <div> instead to create boxes.

Go have a poke at mine if you like. Still got a lot of work to do on it but it's all hand coded from scratch http://vampamc.nn.pe/
I'll send you the files if you like. Has register/log in, a small forum, paypal payments, rcon connection, etc all working on it already.
