"Quick and Easy Learning" says w3schools!
This is followed by the statement:
"Because time is valuable, we deliver quick and easy learning.
At W3Schools, you can study everything you need to learn, in an accessible and handy format."
They finish with:"Never increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything" --- William of Ockham (1285-1349)"
Better yet - these tutorials are FREE! Thank you Matt for suggesting them.Armed with a cup tea to my right and a sleeping baby on my left shoulder, Cinderella playing in the background as children watch a movie instead of doing their math, I am ready to dive into the world of explanations of HTML, XML forms and why I need to back up and read about HTML forms before I can study up XML forms...
Now all of this is in hopes that these tutorials will edify for me what the buttons on my web building program can do.
Wish me luck, or better yet - say a prayer. Anyone acquainted with a patron saint for website builders?

I googled "patron saint Internet" and found St. Isidore http://www.scborromeo.org/saints/isidores.htm
Here is part of what it said:
So, how does Saint Isidore of Seville become the patron saint for the Internet? The Observation Service for Internet, who drew it's mission from the Pontifical Council for Social Communications, researched the Internet and related technologies to select a patron saint that best reflects the concerns and ideals of computer designers, programmers and users. The saint chosen by the Observation Service for Internet was Saint Isidore. "The saint who wrote the well-known 'Etymologies' (a type of dictionary), gave his work a structure akin to that of the database. He began a system of thought known today as 'flashes;' it is very modern, notwithstanding the fact it was discovered in the sixth century. Saint Isidore accomplished his work with great coherence: it is complete and its features are complementary in themselves.
Hello Christi.
Glad to see that you now have a patron saint to call upon for assistance here. I would've recommended St. Michael, all things considered ;o)
Here's a link for you to follow for free, pre-made Java Scripts when you finally get around to adding a bit of "spice" to your plain HTML site:

With a little common sense, you can save yourself the pains of having to learn js when the time comes...
God bless!
