I want to build a personal website. Should I use a WYSIWYG editor like Dreamweaver or FrontPage, or learn the HTML tags by hand? What actually gets you further in the long run? |

Learn by hand first. View-source on websites you like and understand what every tag does. Use Notepad or TextPad and an FTP client. WYSIWYG editors generate bloated, unmaintainable code. |

W3Schools is the best free resource. Go through the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript tutorials in order. You'll have a working site in a weekend. |

Agree on hand-coding first, then use Dreamweaver once you understand what it's generating. Dreamweaver's code view is good for learning — switch between design and code view to see the relationship. |
