Thats a helluva loaded question right there. Sounds like you have a lot of information to learn. You might want to start with some books on HTML. Check your local bookstore. Also check the link manalone provided.

You may want to also look at http://www.htmlhelp.com. I use it today mostly for a reference.

I have been programming HTML since the early days. You need to find a small project you want to work on and work on it till your happy with the results. Along with (X)HTML, learn CSS as well. http://www.htmlhelp.com and http://www.w3schools.com both have good guides/references.

Standards. Standards. Standards. One of the biggest things you need to learn right off the bat is to pay attention and adhere to the standards that are in place. Once your finished with your first project, make sure it validates.

The World Wide Web Consortium (w3c) provides a great validator for both HTML and CSS:

HTML: http://validator.w3.org/
CSS: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

Not much more to be added to the good advice already offered but i'll give another link to a site which helped me out a lot when i first started learning web development.

http://www.webmonkey.com

This site has a good "authoring" section which teaches you the basics of html in an interesting and informal way. They also have a html cheat sheet which i used to find very helpful as a reference in the beginning.

If you dont get along with any of the advice offered, by all means go with a WYSIWYG html editor but be aware that the outcome may cause you confusion along the way if you dont have at least a basic understanding of the languages the pages are written in. That said, enjoy the web development... i find it a very enjoyable creative outlet and i only ever use vim (basic, yet powerful text editor) these days.

Dreamweaver - I'm not really a programmer so I find this programme essential to build websites, it writes a lot of the code for you and shows you what your site will look like as you code

You can use something like dreamweaver. But it really comes down to: do you want to learn? or do you want it to be done for you?

If you want to do it right, you should definatly learn how to do it.
