HTML 102...

[mousme]

So... I know how to code very basic stuff. Links to things and whatnot. But besides that, I suck at html, and yet I'd still like to do stuff.

More to the point, I'd like to build a small, humble website. I've tried using a book to learn (several books, actually), but over the years I've come to the realization that I'm one of those people who can't learn from books. I have to be shown, and then I have to practice. I can't do the autodidact thing. It just doesn't work for me under most circumstances. I need a starting point. After that, I'm fine. I can read tons of books on the subject at hand and advance like nobody's business, but if no one shows me the basics, then I'm at sea.

Is there anyone in Montreal willing to put up with the frustration of showing me how to build a website for an afternoon or two?

I'll be eternally grateful, and I'll even feed you, or something.

Anyone? Anyone at all? Bueller?

raises hand Me! Me! I'm pretty good at the basics, though they've expanded the standards a whole lot since I learned HTML, back when the wibbly-wobbly-web was very young :) So long as you don't mind learning how to do it "by hand from scratch" rather than "here's how to use this software to make web pages". 'Cause I only know how to do it by hand.

Yay! Perfect! :D

We can discuss the details, say, at brunch. You free to come this Saturday? I'll drive. ;)
