    Hi Everyone. Let me start off by saying that this site rules and so far I see that you guys are willing to help n00bs like me

    I am an HTML n00b. I know nothing about the language at all. I made it through my Visual Basic Course with an A, so hopefully I will be able to understand this too.

    But I'm planning on opening a music myspace page for my band. And after browsing through some alot of pages, I saw that some pages were very unique.
    Here are some unique pages that i found

    http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=119278319

    http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=83977841

    http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=33184924

    http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=8267018

    I'm not asking for someone to hold my had and guide my step-by-step to do get my page to look like this. But what I need is someone to give me an idea of what is nessesary to program good pages like this. I just need someone to give me the general idea on how to do stuff like this because i'm totally new at it.

    First: Get a few good and easy to use programs. (DreamWeaver - Photoshop)
    Second: Play around with them until you get the hang of things.
    Third: Tutorials Rule! So find some good ones, they will help you learn all the great things you can do.

    If this is your first stab at creating a site design or template, dont expect to acheive perfection the first time around. However, the more you try the more you learn.

    I really believe trial and error to be the best teaching tools of all time. :)

    I second the CSS comment.

    I would not try dreamweaver or any of that. You need to either find a profile on some of the free profile sites - and then adapt it to what you want, or start from scratch typing CSS (and HTML, depending on what you want).

    I would suggest you learn XHTML and CSS from w3schools.com

    I know this is a little "off the subject", but i hear that the actual HTML is obsolete. And That it's been replaced with xHTML. Is that true?

    I've pm you a link to the best myspace div tutorial out there.

    And if you want to view the html code of a page, you just right click it and click view source, although you'll have a lot to decipher on a myspace page.
