This might be a little advanced, but a GREAT way to learn new things via html is to go to websites and web pages you like and do a "save" file (make sure you do a save as complete).
Then look at the html file and you can see how the page was created. This is VERY, VERY helpful IF you have a good html editor, one that allows you to see the "structure" of the page.
Macromedia Dreamweaver is bar none, the best tool out there.
It does cost money, however, an educational version is pretty cheap. OR buy an old version off ebay.
Good Luck
