HTML and CSS : Journalists' Toolkit

A training site for multimedia and online journalists

Learning HTML and CSS

HTML Dog is a great site for finding answers to your questions about HTML and CSS.
It provides tutorials for every level, from beginner to advanced.
If you patiently work through the HTML tutorials in order, you will learn the proper way to code Web pages.

W3schools has a very nice CSS 2.0 reference.

Web Page Editing Programs

The nicest professional editor, in my opinion, is Dreamweaver. I have been using it for many years.

Alternatively, there are a number of free and open-source Web editing programs today:

• Nvu (pronounced N view): Windows, Mac or Linux
• Amaya: Windows, Mac or Unix

If you do not know how to upload files to a Web server, see this FTP tutorial.
