As I'm sure most other people will suggest this, read through the articles at A List Apart (http://www.alistapart.com/). That will be a step in the right direction for sure.

How about a book instead. Get Jeffery Zeldman's "designing with web standards". Zeldman has his own site (http://www.zeldman.com) as well as being a major contributor to A List Apart (http://alistapart.com)

I just got an html book it is in the mail, i will try those sites, cus i really need to brush up on ym site building skills

[Sux0rZh@jc0rz]

the best way to learn, is to look at other sites and see how they do things you like. then try to build a site. thats the best way to learn it. it really sticks with you when you actually do it.

Unfortunatly, there are so few sites that are actually worth learning from...

Start by letting http://www.inknoise.com/experimental/layoutomatic.php lay out your basic page and go from there.

When you're ready to fiddle with link/menus then hit http://www.accessify.com/tools-and-wizards/list-o-matic/list-o-matic.asp for the raw material you need.
