    That was fast...lol. I doubt you have all the basics down. But I always learn from trial and error, so here goes.

    The first step, as Nile kindly pointed out, is to learn basic (X)HTML syntax and write the basic structure of the page. This will be bear-bones, no styling yet or layout yet.

    Next, you should lay the page out as you need. This is done through CSS. You can Google your heart out and learn all you want/need to know about it.

    Here are some CSS layouts that might get you started: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/layouts/


    Then, apply your styling -- colors, fonts, background images, etc... Again, with CSS.

    Finally, validate your markup.

    You're asking an incredibly broad question. Much like a real language you can't just say "oh, how do I learn Chinese"... you just start from the beginning, looking at various sites (and their source), with help from tutorials. Photoshop itself can export some limited html (through imageready in the versions before CS3), but you'll probably want to use other techniques as well. You do not need a program, just anything that can save a text document (html) like notepad, and start writing code.

    I had to agree with djr33 in some of the stuffs he say. Was given a lecture by him once

    you can start by by saying what kind of things you wan to have in the html other than the stuff from photoshop. If you using notepad, be sure to save the text file as xxx.html or xxx.htm , the type of file to save as, you put it as all files.

    Mayb* you can consider using an html editor, since notepad will not tell you where is your errors (so you might have a hard time looking for it if you have alot of stuff in )

    Hope I help you in some ways

    XHTML would be a bad idea... its still not supported by IE

    haha well i kinda cheated and watched some videos
    but so what i need to do it look into it more?

    And when i learn HTML and CSS i will be able to code my whole page?
    like have drop down menus,click a button and it takes you to another page, scroll menus.
    i was really hoping to learn some other stuff but i will ask those questions when i get this down
