Mission "Not so impossible"
I found a useful resource today which made the idea of my me handcoding a site less of a ridiculous notion One of my biggest worries is how to memorise these codes......CUE CHEAT SHEETS. I planning to prints this out and get them on my wall. Now to think of a subject matter for my site uuummm!

Hi Mint I just saw your post on the W3Schools web site hand coding web pages/documents is definitely the way to go if you want to learn about web developement properly from the bottom up.All the sites that you posted links for were coded using software and the use of uppercase letters for tag names is a dead give away remants left over from html 3.2 the Lifts site was definitely done with DreameWeaver and the last one as well plus it was also delivered dynamically using ASP.
I spend as much time looking at the source code of web pages as I do looking at the rendered page in the browser. It took me about 3 months to learn html as you have discovered practice makes perfect.
The more you use the language the faster you will learn it, it also helps to buy a good book so you have a reference to hand all the time. Most importantly learn about the standards and work under a DTD and validate your code using the W3C validation tools and your pages/documents will work across all browsers.
I hope this helps...

Practice does make perfect. I use DreamWeaver cause of it's functionality and allowing me some "structure" in the various files while I work, and for the syntax coloring. That's the only reason.
So technically, I am hand-coding aswell. It's something that will become more clear to you the more time you use doing websites ^^
