I want to make a website but I'm useless at

[Shinade]

HTML and CSS!? Basically I am making a website on one of those website builder things. I want to know if there are any good website to teach me how to enter a code in HTML or CSS that will create the website I want.
If there are any people that magically know how to write a code off by heart this is what I want my website to look like:
I want it to have a background like this picture tiled:
http://www.ismoyo.com/blogimages/pattern/stgermain.jpg
Then I want a rectangle with the text in the middle of it so there is about 2cm ont he left and right hand side of this 'text rectangle.'
Any help would be appreciated - sorry I'm so rubbish at this kind of stuff!
For the second person who answered - the rectangle with the writing is going to have a white background. so if you were to look at my website it would be: a 2cm width column of that pattern, a 10cm width column of a white background and then another 2cm column of that pattern.

try searching for some website templates. there are a lot of decent ones around available for free.


nothing more i can suggest other than spending time reading up on css and html

body {
background: url(stgermain.jpg) top left;
}

#content {
margin: 0cm 2cm 0cm 2cm;
}

Put in your body:



You should ideally apply a background color to the content so you can actually read anything that goes in there.

Go read a book to fill in the rest. Oreilly.com

What you want in the middle of the page is a scroll box. Here it the code for a scrollbox. It's pixel dimensions are 100x100, but you should change them to whatever you want. If you do not know how big a certain pixel number is, go into paint and hold down Ctrl and E and type in the pizels to test the size. I set the border colour as black and the bit you will be writting on as white.WRITE YOUR TEXT HERE DO NOT WRITE PAST THE CLOSING
Hope this helps

Try building a website from scratch!

A great site to get you started is www.lissaexplains.com

It starts from very basics and goes all the way to advanced topics. It also uses plain english and is very easy to understand.

background-image: url(images/pattern) repeat-x;
