One of the problems that a lot of new internet marketers face is the daunting task of learning HTML so they can build their web pages. Many fear that it’s too difficult for them.

If this sounds like you, then let me put those fears to rest. Learning HTML is not as hard as it sounds. Let me also assure you that you’re not alone. Every single person who has ever built a
web page has felt technically challenged when building web pages for the first time.

But, the trick is to get over that fear and just start doing. The majority of us have learned as we went along. We had the idea that we wanted to build a web page and just started doing it.

I built my first web site in the days when before Front Page and other software packages existed. So I learned to manually type each line of HTML in order to create my web page. But you no longer have to do this! Thanks to great WYSIWYG (or, “What You See is What You Get”) software programs, you can easily create a simple web site without needing to know much HTML!

If this is all new to you, I recommend downloading free web design software and just start playing with it. KompoZer is a great program for this. It’s a free WYSIWYG web authoring program.

While you don’t to know as much HTML to create web pages using these kinds of programs, learning some HTML is still a good idea - because it will give you a lot more control over your pages.

Here are some links to sites that offer free online HTML lessons.

HTML Net (HTML and CSS lessons)

The sites above can help you learn HTML - and the best way to learn HTML is to learn as you go. In other words after downloading the KompoZer software and installing it on your computer, create a new blank page and just start creating text and then learn to “bold” it and make other changes to it. Learn to hyperlink the text to a web site.

The cool thing is that as you practice, you can preview your web pages (which is a way of seeing in advance how your web pages will look online.).

Learning HTML by doing is the best and quickest way to learn how to build web pages. It’s not as hard as it looks - so don’t put it off. Just do it!
