Creating Web Content
Google Search Results for "HTML Tutorial"
You will need to use a program in which to create your HTML. Here we examine some of the options.
Notepad/Text Editor
As HTML is so simple, you can actually write it in a basic text editor, like Notepad on a Windows PC. Just open up a blank document, write your HTML and then save the file as filename.htm.
Microsoft Expression Web Developer
Expression has replaced Frontpage as Microsoft's easy to use web designer solution. Frontpage got a bad reputation with designers for the crime of code bloat - adding it's own markup to the page for no reason - but Expression has learnt the lessons and is a great standards compliant, WYSIWYG web editor.
NVU
Nvu (standing for new view) is a great website editor with a lot of the functionality of a commercial package like Frontpage or Dreamweaver - but it's absolutely free. It's available for Linux, Mac and Windows platforms.

Blogs
Blogging websites or software are a great alternative to learning how to use web designing software. Using a selected template, you can easily create a web page using the familiar blogging format - post articles and let visitors respond. Blogs can be highly customised though to suit the look and purpose you require. For a gentle introduction, check out Blogger.
An alternative blogging platform to Blogger is Wordpress. Wordpress is open source software, which has available for it many themes and plug-ins to extend and improve its standard offering. This is increasingly the choice of many serious bloggers.
