...learn? Recently, creating a website has been of some interest to me.

I have basic knowledge in HTML - I can code a table based website template, change and edit text and links, insert pictures but that's about it.

I find CSS confusing, and PHP will probably do my head in. Where can I learn all three of these coding types in the order mentioned?

And one more thing - what is a good sub-domain website host? Please don't say freewebs or piczo.

You could try www.w3schools.com to learn coding.

The "for dummies" books are a great start for anyone looking to learn a new programming language. Dreamweaver is a great program in order to test you coding and immediately see a graphic display of what it looks like. You can also import templates and examine their coding. It just depends on how you learn. Once you get into php you will want to learn how you can use it as the front end to a database such as mysql. Try signing up for a free mysql db at freesql.org and then creating a php page to enter data and recall data form the database. This will be the start of being able to use php in your web pages to create forms, forums, etc. CSS is actually not very complicated it is simply a way to create layouts that can be displayed on a web page. Good Luck!
