Is a HTML program needed?

[JaiOh]

Hi, I'm working on my first site (www.freewebs.com/stuntmag) and so far i've been using NOTEPAD and the freewebs webeditor. My question, is a HTML program neeed or can a website be created just using NOTEPAD? My knowledge is very limited and I want to learn EVERYTHING (html, flass, etc.) and I knwo html is the first thing that needs to be learned (right?). Any imput will be very aprecieated.

*edit*
flass= flash

Notepad works just fine, however, I prefer Notepad2, which offers syntax highlighting and some other stuff.

You'll find HTML-kit (http://htmlkit.com) provides you a lot more than just syntax highlighting help with your page developement.

http://myarea.com.sapo.pt - my site ^^ (still under construction)
completely done by writting html with notepad and homesite4.0 (hard to find..., but i think its the best)

by learning the coding itself you will have wider area of things you can do(and understanding too).
i recomend it.

by the way... i also used freewebs in the past, but moved to anoter server.

Well, your web site is... ehh. Too many animations. And I don't really like the colors. But the fun I had when I clicked on "Not a clickable area" was worth it.

By the way "loser" only has one "o" in it, not two.

HTML Validator provides both syntax hilighting and will validate the code for you so you can fix all your errors before uploading the page.

It also alows you to preivew in multiple browsers, put simply: it kicks ass.

No, no Html program is needed, notepad will work. They do make it easier, I intend on trying out that HTML Validator since it has gotten such good recommendations. I use Dreamweaver, but the only thing I like about it is the FTP and the highlighting.

You seem to be off to a good start. Check your Document Type Definition, it's set for strict HTML 4. Up 'till now, I have been validating my code through W3C, you should consider doing the same.
Your site http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.freewebs.com%2Fstuntmag%2F doesn't validate. Write clean code from the get go, you'll be glad you did.
If by flass, you mean flash (i really did a search for flass and found nothing :) ) you will need Macromedia software which means $$.

The greatest thing about web design IMO, is that you can never stop learning new things.
