    I know nothing about website creation and I want to learn how to build websites and how to add payment options on them etc...

    Does any one know of a good product that teaches how to do it? Video tutorials would be best...

    Thanks in advance!

    For learning html (syntax that you use to create webpages) and CSS (syntax that you use to change the look of your websites) I recommend:

    Your HTML Source
    HTML Dog

    They are 2 of my favorite websites and I still visit them from time to time whenever a doubt arises, even though I am extremely experienced with HTML and CSS.

    Once you have learned a bit about how webpages work you can get started on a blog. A blogspot blog is fine since it requires very little knowledge to operate. However, I encourage newbies to go ahead and use WordPress (a free blog script) on a paid webhosting account since you will learn a lot and develop a lot of skills that will come in handy in future "webmastering".

    It might be best to start with small steps and then work up to payment methods and that type of thing after a little while. The tutorials on W3's website are some of the best I have seen or used and they not only cover HTML but also several other programming languages that you might want to use...
    Here are some links(-sorry they aren't proper links, still haven't got the ability to post links):
    www.w3schools.com/html/
    The above covers HTML
    www.w3schools.com/xhtml/
    This link covers XHTML- A more advanced version of HTML, slightly harder to get to grips with.

    Hope that helps

    XsitePro is a great tool for small sites (less than 100 pages) for people who want to get their feet wet and make decent looking sites quickly with little experience with HTML. The included video tutorials are excellent.

    Of course it's a good idea to learn to hand code html (the basics) so you pick up on how to read it and make adjustments in any HTML source editor. The claims of no HTML knowledge required are a little misleading in most products. Because at some point you'll be well served if you know how to spot errors and tweek the code a bit.

    Do one thing at a time. Learn how to build a site. Learn how to publish that site. Then worry about payment incorporation. The best way is to learn as you go. You can read it to death and in the end it won't matter. You have to do it to learn it.
