Well im not the DoGG but maybe I can help you out a little bit. What you ask is not an easy task

Let's see, the basics. HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is the language that your web browser understands and reads to display websites to the user. HTML is written in a "TAG" based format. Everything in HTML has an open tag and a closeing tag. It would look something like this.

<title>My first HTML document</title>

Where as the <title> is the open tag, text in the middle get's displayed to the user

and </title> closes the tag. To really get a start on understanding html and how to write an actaul website I'd suggest googleing and reading everything you can. there are tons of books on the subject as well. But I'll go on a bit here and explain a few other things. HTML has been around for quite some time. and does have limitations. To get around many limitations of actual html code they implemented something called CSS wich stands for Cascading Style Sheets. CSS isn't really a language of it's own but is there more to compliment HTML. It gives you much more freedom over your web pages. Before with writing in html you were limited to basic "left, center, and right" alignment. To get around this the use of tables are used wich basically allow you to build tables for your site's layout. In each cell of the table you then can align you text or image or what ever you want to display per cell. Now with CSS the need for tables or use of tables has become much less. You have much more freedome over margins and placement of

things on your site using css. You can implent css "inline" meaning you can place css code as you go in your page. Or you can write an intire style sheet for the entire site and would carry over all your implementation like text color, font, font size, backgrounds etc thoughout your site. There are times and uses for all implementations of CSS. Just depends on your needs. But I wont' go into CSS to much here.

Now sites like this one are is using a CMS type of system. CMS stands for Content Managment System. There are a bunch of different ones around these day's. They manily run on PHP code which is very similar to html. Some CMS type sites are Php Nuke, Dragonfly, Drupal, Joomla, Word press. These type of sites are more "sites in a box" kinda things. They allow you go basically download and install them giving you managment systems which allow you adminster them fairly easily. They are a starting point. And I say easily but there not really easy to manage. You need to have good knowledge of computers, networking, HTML, knowledge in order to run a site and modify it to your liking. But they do allow you freedom over having to code EVERYTHING yourself from scratch. They're open source and work on a "modular" system. Meaning you can download modules for your site to do different things. Some mods are easy to use and some can get pretty complicated. Nuke to me is one of the easiest to setup and configure, but it's older. Newer ones can get more technical, but in my opinion give a nicer website.

Well I don't know if I answered your question or not but I hope I gave you a starting point! Really I do suggest just googling html basics and you will find a ton of sites out there with a ton of basic html tags to get you started.

Hopefully someone else here can join in and add anything or elaberate on things that maybe I didn't!
Happy coding!
