To learn the technologies required for web development, like HTML, CSS, and
so on, I like to go to:
http://www.w3schools.com/
Note that both HTML and CSS can be done in a simple text editor like
notepad. CSS is Cascading Style Sheets. It is the preferred manner in
which to define how you want the page to look. It allows you to separately
set the styles used on one or more pages to look throughout the page and
site. It allows you to quickly change the style without editing the
content.
Note this is also the best place to learn what is coming with HTML 5 and
CSS3. These new open standards may make audio and video material to be
non-propriatary, require no extentions / plug-ins to the browser, lower
resources, and accessible!
Thanks, Marek, for the link to style guidelines for web pages for the blind.
Like recently pointed out on this list recently, blue text on a black
background might not be the best combination. I will research these
guidelines so I can make better color choices in the future.

Hi,
For creating web is the best notepad, but you must know HTML, PHP, SQL :D.
And PS-PAD is great tool.
Never use Microsoft Word and save as HTML, it's fu.. code :D.
With best regards,

It is, since, for example, I work in the backend HTML markup, which comes
down to text editing, so the following would be around the simplest
webpage
source:
<html>
<head>
<title>Simple page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2 align="center">Heading on page</h2>
<p>
Hellow world...
</p>
</body>
</html>
Fact is that you can also use various other bits of software to handle
layout, but they just generate bits of markup, like
the ...align="center"...
bit of the markup above to handle layout etc, and while quite a few of
them
might make it quicker and easier to generate web content, it really
depends
on what/how much you want to do therewith, and while I have my own
website,
primarily due to wanting to keep the domain registration as a form of
email
address backup - hard to explain off hand - I also maintain the website
for
my bike/motorcycle club, and that's a website for fully sighted guys where
I
maintain backend things using PHP scripting, image galleries, etc. etc.
There is also a mailing list specifically for blind web developers etc.,
but
can't remember where found it previously.
Stay well
