Trying to figure things out

So Today I've been attempting to figure out the whole HTML thing. I checked out some books from the library, and find them very interesting. However, they don't seem to help me that much with what I want to know. They're basically just saying what you can do with an HTML, instead of saying precisely how to build it, or fix problems that might arise in them. Blast and Wretch. So I've created this blog to doodle with. Wish me luck!
