Web Site Construction tools

[TC]

Can someone recommend a site where I can obtain good/free web page
construction kit/information? Also, I am completely new to this. My IPS
provides space for a personal web page, but no suggestions or tools on how
to construct one-other than saying I can upload files to my new web space by
dragging and dropping files from folders on my hard drive to the ftp web
page. My ISP did recommend "CoffeeCup Free HTML, but when I went to CNET to
download it, the reviews were so bad that I changed my mind.

I recently started using TSW Webcoder. It's a free html program from
the below link.

It looks good, but seems to be fixed at 1024 x 768.
These old eyes mandate that I use 800 x 600.

other than saying I can upload files to my new web space by
dragging and dropping files from folders on my hard drive to the ftp web
page.

Try ftp Explorer <http://www.ftpx.com/> or FileZilla
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla> for the ftp portion of
your question.

I installed tswWebcoder today and really like it especially the quick
view of resolution.

I also installed htmlGate and tried it as well and am undecided on which
I like best.

I also found html goodies a good starting point as already mentioned by tf76
www.htmlgoodies.com
and then I followed it up by going here
http://www.w3.org/

You can make web pages with WYSIWYG programmes but I think in the long
run you are better off to learn the html code. Some of the programmes
mentioned here allow you to do both. You also want to learn CSS. With
programmes like tswWebcoder (and others) you can use single or double
clicks to insert the code you want so you don't have to type it all out.

Good Luck and enjoy it.

Their ethics are a short summary of police ordinances: for them the
most important thing is to be a useful member of the state, and to air
their opinions in the club of an evening; they have never felt the
homesickness for something unknown and far away, nor the depths which
consists in being nothing at all. ___________Soren Kierkegaard

Try CSE HTML Validator Lite. It is free and is a great tool to learn HTML
(if that's what you want to do).

This application is free for _private_ use only. I suggest they inform
of that before they make people install the application.

In case it matters to anyone, CSE HTML Validator Lite, which I mentioned
earlier in this thread, is free for personal AND business/government use.

By the way, if you have a web site, try running your site through here:
