HTML can be learned...I mostly do copy and paste but to do a really good job of it, stay away from a wysiwyg editor. That's like learning to bake using an easy bake oven.
To learn more about hand coding (which is the best way) go to any of these web sites:

There are many HTML editor programs out there, paid and free..some are better than others.
One comes with every version of windows on the market. It's called Notepad.
But that means you have to do it the HARD way, or the easy depending on your point of view. It DOES mean you do have to learn to write code and not depend on the computer to do it for you. And you CAN make mistakes. The beauty of writing your own code is that once it is up, it is YOURS, not someone elses creation.
So here goes the list of what I know is out there so far and I know others will add to the list:
Free editors:
NVU
Alleycode
WebTide Free Text Editor
MPSOFTWARE - Designed for you Free Personal version
CoffeeCup - HTML Editor
WebDwarf
FreeSerifSoftware
HTML-Kit
MAX's HTML Beauty++ 2004
Homepage of Crimson Editor
EditPad lite
Metapad
Araneae
First Page 2006
Of those, I use Notepad, which is build into the computer, 1st Page 2000 (Hardcore version), MPSOFTWARE (PHP Designer 2005).
I know there are others here on the forum who write their own code, what do you use?
Paid Editors:
Namo WebEditor6
Microsoft FrontPage
Dreamweaver MX 2004
Adobe GoLive
UltraEdit
I've been collecting for some time now. Liz
