I want to build my first website...

[Tret]

I just don't know how to. I'm not trying to make anything fancy just something simple and easy to read. I just need to know how to actually make a template from scratch and send it them to the site.
I already know how to register and domain and hosting.

I would just look online. I lerned html several years ago just from reading things online.

Geocities on yahoo is an excellant way to get to learn html and other usefull web features.

http://www.w3schools.com is also a great place to learn things.

Yea i just looked at the reviews, this book is way to out of date for what you need.

HTML is very easy to learn, but a little more difficult when you try to effectively use it with CSS/PHP/Whatever else.
You can easily look up "HTML Tutorials" on google and find some good results.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

For something like this, learning HTML is way too much of a hassle. Consider using a WSYWIG program like Microsoft's Frontpage, or Macromedia's Dreamweaver. I understand the programs I listed are a bit expensive to buy just for a simple webpage, but possibly you have friends or family who has a copy, or maybe someone here can recommend a free program that I don't know about.

It really depends on your goal.

If you just want to have a nice present on the Internet you can do it in short period of time a freeware WYSIWYG Web Authoring program like this one: http://www.snapfiles.com/screenshots/dheeditor.htm

To start you can install a small www server on you computer (as described here: http://www.ezlan.net/serving.html )

Download the Web Authoring program and in few minutes you are in Business (and No money involved).

Once you are confident in what you authored you can ftp it to your Internet Hosting space.
