A year ago, I thought making web pages looked like fun but I had no idea how to go about it. It was an altogether daunting prospect and I thought I wouldn't have a hope in hell of learning HTML!

In reality, the basics of HTML are quick and easy to learn. Once you have mastered the fundamental ideas, you can start to climb the dizzy heights!
