Want to maintain your own blog? Start here.
About a third of my inquires lately have been by people wanting me to teach them WordPress so that they can maintain – and even customize – their own sites. Makes sense. Most people create blog sites because you want control. You’re tired of being held hostage by a web designer who’s too busy to make a 15 minute change at the time you want it changed.
Before you can customize a theme, you need to know HTML. The best HTML tutorial I found is . Scroll down to the Basic Tutorial Mini-Chapters and begin. At the end of the tutorials I promise that you will have a good understanding of HTML.
Dave also has CSS tutorials too. Don’t worry about those just yet. Just get the HTML down.
Knowing HTML will also help you with formatting your pages. You will be able to fix formatting issues using the HTML editor because we all know that the Visual editor doesn’t always fix the problem.
