267 <p>Just play with HTML and CSS until you get a basic understanding of how they work. You should be able to understand the HTML and CSS of this website.</p> 267 <p>Just play with HTML and CSS until you get a basic understanding of how they work.

269 <p>I left out resources for HTML itself. You should just look up HTML tags with Google or ChatGPT as you encounter them. That is good enough to learn HTML.</p> 269 <p>I left out resources for HTML itself. You should just look up HTML tags with Google or ChatGPT as you encounter them.

271 <p>Ideally one should be able to look at web pages around the internet to learn. But unfortunately they are mostly overcomplicated crap that is very difficult to understand. You can try. My personal websites are like this one - very simple, so they don't look professional to modern culture. I can't link to my best commercial website because that would ruin its reputation (because I am infamous). But I can link to some of my old commercial websites <a href="http://test.tleggings.com/">here</a> and <a href="http://test.super-resume.com/">here</a>. These have reasonable HTML and CSS.</p> 271 <p>Ideally one should be able to look at web pages around the internet to learn.

273 <p>I have a few general principles for working with HTML and CSS. First, modern culture claims that HTML is for content and CSS is for styling. This is nonsense. Both HTML and CSS are for layout, don't think of them as being conceptually different. Just use both in the simplest possible way to get the results you want. Don't bother with the useless new HTML5 content tags like <code>header</code>. Just use <code>div</code> and <code>span</code> for most things. Also I use HTML attributes as selectors, not HTML classes. This is just simpler. HTML classes are useless, leave them for modern culture.</p> 273 <p>I have a few general principles for working with HTML and CSS.

275 <p>You will need HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Luan to make a website. So I suggest that you get a basic understanding of each of these and then go back later to study them in greater depth.</p> 275 <p>You will need HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Luan to make a website.
