Thanks to blogging, I’ve learned the very basics of HTML. However, I wanted to learn more before I tackled Dreamweaver. This is what I learned.
-How to colorize a background without messing with the css file.
-The difference between block and inline tags
-Controlling line breaks and spaces
-Preformatting text
-How to create a variety of lists
-Breaking lines around an image
-How to set up a CSS page
-How to adjust the leading (line height) of a paragraph
-How to format tables
and more.
If you’re a rank beginner to website design, you’ll learn a lot but not everything. Thankfully, there are many free resources online that will help you. If you’re a visual learner and are willing to spend the money, this is a decent investment because you can go back and watch what you didn’t catch the first time.

What you get out of this is more than worth the price. It took me from a very rough HTML coder to the level where I know understand the code the Dream weaver places when I do something in the WYSIWYG and has set a good foundation for me to start looking into other aspects of web development (CSS, server-side languages, etc). On thing to note is that if you are going to take this course and never take it again, you can get in on a subscription basis from other vendors and save some $$
