    Yep, this is good advice. A CMS like Wordpress is great for beginners. You must watch out for hidden nasties in some of the free templates but the wordpress.org ones are usually pretty good; WordPress › Free WordPress Themes One thing I would say about Wordpress though is that modifying themes can get a bit 'hacky' at times. If you are more confident with creating your own HTML/CSS layout from scratch then ModX is the way to go IMO.

    +1 for Wordpress, check out some free themes, Orman Clark has an awesome themes that are very cheap, IMO I'd stay away from W3C it's in no way affiliated with the W3C check out this W3Fools – A W3Schools Intervention, If you want to learn HTML and CSS read books by Zeldman, Dan Cederholm etc. There's loads on Play.com

    I'd also check out Chris Coyier's video tutorials, there's some on HTML and CSS from scratch which are very good, also just following the right people on Twitter.

    Hope this helps!

    Yeah. I have definitely considered WP, only that at this point I have a site that is running which I have invested lots of time- so at this point it would seem a bit annoying to 'delete' everything and start from scratch again.. still, thanks for the advice.
