I use Frontpage Express that came free with IE4 and IE5 (but not 5.5). Simple, nothing fancy and easy to use (just like a word processor).

I think FrontPage is the easiest to start with. It has its quirks but after a while people usually move on anyway to more code-oriented programs. Because it is a WYSIWYG program, it allows you to get things done easily, plus you can then use the HTML view to start learning code by looking at the source for what you just did.

You could also probably do a search for "WYSIWYG editor" and see what else turns up for more options though. I think that feature is the main thing that makes any editor easy to start with.

I wouldn't use FrontPage's HTML view to learn HTML. Frontpage can generates it's own elaborte code, including a lot of tags witch aren't even HTML (and only work in Internet Explorer). You'r better of looking at and copying from other sites on the net (by using view source in your browser).

<h1>Coding is easy</h1>

<p>You really need to start with the basics of coding.
Relying on a package because it's &quot; easy &quot;
will only result in not doing the job properly</p>

<p>If you can understand what I've written, then you've
already got the basics of coding - and coincidentally the 
tools to do it (they are free)</p>

<p>Any help you need along the way is right here</p>

<p>Good luck!!</p>

I've gotta agree with TheOriginalH on this one... I learned by starting with coding basics...

Mabye use an editor a little bit to try new things but try to use the code predominantly... you learn alot more that way.

And SitePoint and its members will always help you.

That was an example of how HTML is written, along with an answer to your question.
