Can anyone recommend a book that will teach me how to build a website using html and css. I want a book that teaches in a methodical way, ie. start building my first page using html and CSS from the off. Most drone on about html, tell you a whole load of tags and then turn round and say but you don't need to use half these tags because CSS will take care of it. So why teach them then? And why do they wait til you're half way through the book before introducing CSS. I've been trying to teach myself now for about 2 years but get bored, frustrated and just fed up of trying to find a way of learning it in a methodical way. Can anyone help? Thanks

Nothing is ever straightforward, but how boring would that be?

Before you try the books, Go on Google and Search 'HTML Tutorials' and 'CSS Tutorials' But if you don't want to, Heres a book on HTML; http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0071422420

And on CSS:

Best book for you is
"Expression web for dummies"
Even if you dont have EW - the book gives great info and key first steps on CSS, XHTML, layout, content, hosting, uploading and so on =]
