Hello, i just started my own website and i have never ever scripted on a website before. This is the first time i visit this site and it seems as i can get some help here.

This is what i need help with

"http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/crosstick.htm"

How do i enter that in my website, what is <head> and BODY for example? I appreciate all help i can get. Feel free to link a tutorial or guide or if you want you could give me some advise.

The HEAD is, well, the HEAD tag. A simply webpage structure should look like this:

<html>
<head>
<title>The Title of your website</title>
</head>
<body>
Website content here.
</body>
</html>

That's a very, VERY simple website layout...

A good way to learn, is from templates, to see code in action. I would recommend DD's layouts (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/layouts/) to learn from.

The best way to make a website, is to code it by hand - don't use a program to generate code for you. Webpage files should be opened in a plain-text editor like Notepad or Wordpad. If you get very serious in the web design business - dump Windows and go with either Linux or MAC. If you already use one of those - great!

And always use Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/firefox), Safari (http://www.apple.com/safari) or Opera (http://www.opera.com) when building your website. Check out this article (http://killie.mywebsight.ws)...
