It won't connect. PM me your IP please.

Okay, that looks good. So, have you tried changing things in it? Adding another row or column, change the font size, the title, etc?

The biggest thing to realize when learning something new is that it is really boring at first. Unfortunately, if you don't sit through the boring stuff, you won't learn enough to get to the exciting parts.

The best way to learn HTML in my opinion is to simply take another, already made webpage and modify it so that you can see how everything works.

So try that: change the title of the website, change the number of rows, and the number of columns.

so im not going to follow along with that tutorial??

Yes, you will. In each of the tutorials, they give you a sample site. Just take that, and try to change everything. Add things to it, take things away, and just figure out what works and what doesn't.

Martin, how does my HTML looks so far on my server??

Martin · **Posted:** Sun Oct 31, 2004 2:42 pm

Looks good. Keep working at it, you'll get it.
