HTML Is so fucking confusing

I'm trying to make a web site for my TF2 clan and we got the domain name etc but there is no builder . You have to type everything in yourself in HTML script . OMFG its sooo confusing . Is there anyone out there that can simplify HTML or can recommend any good tutorials ?

I used google and I found this site.

" I used google and I found this site. "

I taught myself by the guess&check method.  It's not really that hard if you put some time into it.  but if you want some help that bad, Frontpage is a good program to help you, so is Dreamweaver.

Most of that is javascript I believe. HTML isn't that complicated.

Use a WYSIWYG like dreamweaver, then clean up the code. It's a good way to familiarize yourself with HTML/CSS.

I have a copy of dream weaver . But i hear you can just do it in notepad

Download Notepad ++, also using the Tab and Enter key's when using HTML will make things much easier when programming. HTML is very easy, I forgot a bit of it from my class, but I still have everything we did in class to refresh my memory when needed.
 

Here's the simplest way to do it (with which you're probably best off with):

1. Choose a CMS (Content Management System). Most blog platforms also count (eg. Wordpress). You can test them out at OpenSourceCMS, find the one which admin panel you like most since you're going to spend most of the time there. (Recommendations: Joomla, Wordpress)
   
2. Download a copy of software to your computer, then upload extracted files using a ftp client. Alternatively if your host has cPanel, in most versions you can just upload zip and have it extracted server side.
3. Follow the installation. You can access it by going to [your site url here]. Some terms:
   Mysql = Database. You most probably need to make a mysql user for CMS. In cPanel go to "MySQL databases" under databases, create a database, create a user, link the user to account (something newcomers forget to do sometimes).
4. Finish post-install task, usually deleting install directory.
5. Find a theme you like from the software's homepage. If you can't find it, google for them, there usually are few.
6. Install the theme, depending on software it can vary from importing a file in control panel to uploading the folder.

Yea use wordpress or blogger for beginning your HTML journey. Tools like these were not available in the past. And for noobs like me, coding did not come 2nd nature. You can download templates to help seperate your site from other noobs out there too. Everything is customized, edit the HTML how you want, upload your own templates, import add-ons such as picture galleries, stat trackers, Google AdSense (Make money from traffic), and more. While I search for a reasonable domain and hosting service, I can build up content and my own personal blogs about gaming and stuff. When I do find what I am looking for, I can just rip the entire (or most) of the code from Blogger, and then apply it to a more premium service.

Not to be mean, but as a fellow starting web designer I know this much. If you try to write a site, yourself, in HTML its going to look like shit straight outta the 90's. 

Every time I see untabed code a little part of me dies :(

On a more construtive note just go with Deamweaver.

Simple to use and lots of guides on the net

use w3schools.com very high quality site. dreamweavers nice but you could also get edit pad lite for free.
html isn't that hard, everything else is.

HTML? Damn if you think that's confusing try Java, C, C# or C++. Heck, even python or PHP.

Also, dude, if your making a website why aren't you using PHP? It's a bilion times more flexible than HTML, and if your a beginner you can just load up wordpress and make a custom theme, works just as well and theres tons of tutorials.

Also, TAB YOUR CODE.

Well, you can always not fucking write websites in html. You can torrent an app like dreamweaver or something and make a website rather than inputting actual html code.

i would suggest u download a 30 day trial of Adobe dreamweaver. that program helps a lot of things when using it. it does all of the coding for you, you just have to put in the stuff u want.

to get started i suggest you make a folder called the site, then have two folders in that, pages and images, keep the home (index) anywhere. this helps u organize your web page with folders.

for school when i took web design i used photoshop. once i made the website as an image i  then sliced it all up and saved it as HTML and CSS. CSS is just a style page for the site.

HTML isn't that hard if you use spaces.... Space don't transfer into the page so you can use as many as you want

When I was into web development I did one of two things, intalled a content management system like PHP-nuke, or used a free HTML editor. I used to use one called Nvu. It was free and open source, so I'd guess its still around in one form or another.

What he said. There's no point giving up and using a copy of Dreamweaver to magic a site into existence when you can achieve so much more with a good understanding of XHTML and CSS. Follow w3schools, think everything through logically. Draw out how you want your layout on some paper and keep working at it until you've got that on your screen. Start with the big elements and work down to the smaller ones. As a beginner you should avoid javascript, and look for ways to achieve any fancy effects you want with CSS. Sure it'll be harder than using Dreamweaver for a while, but the end result will be much more worth it, and you'll have a new skill. I've been using HTML and CSS since I was 13 and now I get paid upwards of £200 for making designs for people, so it's definitely a worthwhile thing to know how to do. PM me if you want any help at all.

I would suggest using XHTML.  It requires a little bit more work and it is more tedious to detail but lays the groundwork for really organized code and makes editing much easier.  While everyone is suggesting to use things such as Dreamweaver, I am against it.  By hard coding it, you have more control over your content than you do with.  Also, upgrading your website will be limited to the tools Dreamweaver provides.

Yeah,i cant understand html either.

There is squarespace, i know nothing about it but i keep seeing ads for it so someone must like it.
