An easy way to look like an HTML wiz is to download a copy of Mozilla. It comes with a simple HTML composer. If you choose to start a blog page with a service such as Blogger.com, you can still use Mozilla to compose the posts; you just paste in the relevant code.

A simple page might look something like...

This is a simple page.

It uses a handful of font effects.

It has a link.

The HTML for this looks like...

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type"
content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
This is a simple page. 
 
It uses a handful
of font <big>effects</big>. 
 
It has a <a href="http://www.freerepublic.com">link</a>. 
</body>
</html>

The stuff you'd cut-n-paste is between the <body> and </body> tags. (This is how I wrote all of the HTML code for this post!)

But whatever you do, don't use MS Word. It can save documents as HTML, but the resulting code is sloppy and the files are huge.
