Learning HTML: (not in order)
1: a decent book helps, get something really basic. I think I used the visual quickstart guide for HTML. If you want you can really skip the book and do all your research on the internet.
2: google ... once you get the basics down you can just google your way through ... there are a stupid number of html help sites. Just google: "html font color" or "html embed sound file" and you will see lots of helpful links.
3: pay attention ... if you are off by one stroke html usually won't work, you have to get really good at proofreading.
4: Toolz: I use a mac, 2 GREAT free programs are: Taco Html Editor, and Cyberduck ... download them for free at
http://download.com
5: view >> source. Back in the day when a lot of sites were simpler it worked really great. but it still can be useful for snatching little pieces of code. If you see something you like you can "view source" and try to rip it.
All my websites are hand built in html. I've never learned dreamweaver, so everything I have done has been hand written ... a few of the fancier things I have ripped from other sites. If you look through my websites, some of my older sites are SUPER basic (ie. little fuzzy dj) ... you can cut and paste the code into an html editor and mess around with it to try and get what you want ... its great for experimentation.

CAN YOU GIVE ME A LINK TO ONE OF YOUR 'WEBSITES"???
I WANT TO SEE YOUR WORK, SO FAR I'V LEARND HOW TO EDIT TEXT, BACKGROUND COLOR, OPEN AN EXAMPLE IN A BROWSER, BUT I CANT FANTOM HOW HTML CAN BE WRITTEN SO THAT I WILL SEE A COMPLETE WEBSITE, SEEMS TO ME THAT IT WOULD ( THE HTML TEXT) CONTAIN SO MUCH HTML TEXT, TO PUBLISH.
DOES THAT MAKE SENCE TO YOU?

There are two ways to learn HTML.
A. Go back to the 20th century when it was more relevant knowledge.
or
B. Participate on Marcus' html threads

he's got a point. learn Java instead. or one of the hybrid versions of html like xhtml that have more versatility and arent so rigid as far as what you can and can't do.

haha ...
case in point ... i gave you a busted link:
http://patrickmillerstudio.com/
that should work ... the simplest is "Little Fuzzy DJ"
Some of the others like "def before disco" and "bicycle bell ensemble" have some little bits of java script and .php for flair ... but if you have a keen eye you can see that the basic structure is just simple .html

before you know it eddie... you'll be reading the code like Neo from the matrix... you wont see code just the results of it. lol.

HTML itself wont be very useful. You'll want to learn: XHTML, CSS, JavaScript....
The best way to learn in to view the source on websites (CTRL + U) you like with some reference material, and read at it until you can understand it. If you're not using Firefox (Iceweasel) already download it, and install the add-ons: Web Developer Tools, and Firebug. You can use CTRL + SHIFT + F (Display Element Information) to take a look at the structure of a page visually. Firebug will help you debug JavaScript. There are also to tools to be able to live edit CSS files to see there results, which is a great way to learn. You should also download a good text-editor such as; Vim or Emacs (if your on OSX you can use AquaEmacs).

Ha, they're right. Here's my website. Pure HTML.

It used to look a little cooler, but then had the INGENIOUS idea of messing with it, and now it's just a big shithole.

Do do a whole website you're going to want to use some framework software to make managing fluid, such as Drupal, Joomla, or Wordpress on the PHP side. Django, CherryPy, Pylons, Web.py, Turbogears on the Python side. With Drupal, Joomla, and Wordpress you may or may not need to learn PHP, but with Django, CherryPy you will need to know Python.
