loo notepad is the best, if you go to any webpage that is writte using say, word theres so much unnecessary crap in the source (see it by doing view-source in IE7) whereas with an editor you write what you need and only what you need

If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

Dude, just because you see all this nice sites built by newbies, doesn't mean they built the template or programmed the script. There are so many free nice templates and scripts on the net now, that basically anyone, even my grandma can build a top notch site. As long as you know how to use frontpage or any of the web build programs, you can make a great site.
So no, I don't think you're wasting your time in college. I'm planning to learn the same thing as you. That way I don't have to pay programmers to write me a script.

Exactly.

One thing, learning isn't wasting time and learning this would help you to make your own pages. Making web pages is really full of thrill, exitement etc...(atleast when it is your first one).
