Teach Website Design.
« on: July 05, 2010, 10:48:31 PM »
My wife wants me to teach her how to build web pages.  What is a good place to start?  Any quality tutorials out there so I don't talk over her head?

Developers of the modern age get no respect.  We are always the blunt of jokes, the first to blame, and people hardly talk to us.  I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Send her to googles blogger service and call it good.

My wife "wanted" to build web pages but didn't want to do the leg work, after a week of her frustration, she just went to Blogger and used their service. The place to start, basic HTML / CSS. Then once they get a good handle on that, move on to bigger and better things (if they get the handle on that).
