Does anyone know a good site to learn HTML? I know some basic stuff about programming, I took a programming class about Visual Basic, and I've just started learning Java.

Try <url=http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp>here. It's what I used as a sort of supplementary thing when I took an HTML class a couple of years back.
You can learn a bit from BB codeThat's what we use on these here comment thingies, if you didn't already know, actually - formatting, links, entities and a few other things work the same way in both.
EDIT: Testing, bear with me here...

EDIT AGAIN: Holy crapmonkeys, it worked! That's a table (some properties of alpha particles, if you wanted to know) copy/pasted from the source code of one of the pages I had to make for the aforementioned HTML class. So now we know tables work here.

NeoPets. That's how I learned to code basic HTML about 6-7 years ago. I have since forgotten, but I was addicted to that site and ended up learning a lot about coding by accident. And since the site is for kids, everything is extremely simple.
My advice: Start out with learning Strict XHTML 1 and CSS 2 (most recent versions ofc). Transitional and Frameset are mostly for maintaining older websites, and HTML5 and CSS3 are good, but not nearly done and support is still patchy.
Also, don't expect it to take much time. Once you have the basics down, which won't take long, maybe a few days if you have the time, it's down to how many tags you know.
Finally, I'm a Computer Science student, and they just got done teaching us HTML and CSS, so if you need any help, PM me.

HTML isn't really a programming language, just a formatting language.
Although a good site would be the w3 schools site. I actually learned what I know about HTML when I took a class on JavaScript. Also, should you start using HTML, I'd suggest either writing out the documents in Notepad++ [http://notepad-plus-plus.org/] or KompoZer [http://kompozer.net/] (which is essentially a freeware Dreamweaver).

Don't use DreamWeaver. Fuck that. If you want to learn the code, just check for Youtube videos.cartographer54 said:
yeah, I'm using w3schools right now, and its pretty good. And view-source code is a pretty cool thing. I'll try some of the other ones and report back.
