The HTML Dog has really nice tutorials for learning HTML. It says "The Best Practice Guide To XHTML and CSS" below the logo but doesnt talk about XHTML any more than that so i couldnt figure out yet if their beginner/intermediate/advanced tutorials are for HTML or XHTML (or if they cover both) yet. Would be pleased if someone can clarify.
XHTML is a reformulated standard for HTML enabling it to comply with XML standards. Basically, XHTML is HTML with some additional rules (for example, in HTML some tags do not require closing tag, for example <br> and <img>, but in XHTML closing tags are mandatory and you should use <br /> etc.). There are no differences for the user, and you don't need to bother unless you're developing something global, multi-platform and highly all-browsers-compartible.
Its wayy better to use this as you can actually control your own website instead of having limitations with webs or weebly etc.

You need to change the DOCTYPE as well. Also, XHTML is better to use with CSS. Although you still can CSS with HMTL, XHTML is becoming the future of website creating, and as CSS advances, soon it may only be compatable with XHTML.
Dreamweaver? I scoff at your need for an interactive interface.
Thirded. I use Notepad++ and write all the code myself. You have much more control over how your website looks and can actually call yourself a coder. You should learn the HTML
The fact you use dreamweaver doesn't mean you're not a coder!!!
Whatever I say always goes the wrong way with you! >.>
More specifically, if he starts using Dreamweaver so early on he can't really call himself a HTML coder. Don't mind experienced people using Dreamweaver as a shortcut when doing a larger project, for example, making a website for a business but when people start getting a program to write code they don't even understand I think it's a bit sad.
