I’m much the same Judy. I used Word97 to build my first webpage, then I learned to tweak it and then it became quicker and easier to write code by hand, but it was learning to tweak the pages that taught me html. I think learning CSS is much harder for me because I’m trying to figure out the cause and effect of CSS on my html and vice versa. Barry setting up a stylesheet and fixing my test page for me was really helpful. After that it was trial and error with both CSS and html until I got what I wanted. Once I have the basics working then I can add additional CSS coding as I need it and if it doesn’t work I know I have that one thing to learn how to fix. The W3school is really helpful. It was from what I learned there that I built my first stylesheet. When I was going from lesson to lesson I was always changing their examples to see how things worked. But, their example are dealing with a single element (of one kind or another). Then when I started building my stylesheet and test page I’d go back to their examples to see what html or CSS needed to be changed on my pages to do what I wanted to do.

Linda, I'm a "show me - then do it" learner. I can read and understand the words on most subjects. But for doings, especially website making, the info doesn't translate to doing. Only when Barry clearly told me "this goes here" and gave examples, then I finally started getting it. Then, the more I did what he showed, I started noticing what was wrong when I messed up and how to fix it. The "show me--I'll do it" is a valid learning style. But these online tutorials are too narrow and dry for me. Once Barry showed me, THEN the W3 school "try it" made sense, more than it ever did before. I've learned more of Ext CSS in 8 months than I learned in the first 6 years. Of course, the first 6 yrs I learned most of HTML and got my feet wet with page styles etc. But somehow learning CSS also helped me understand much more about plain html.
