HTML Goodies

If you know nothing about HTML, this is where you start

Webmonkey

the web developer's resource.  Great source for cheatsheets, special characters, etc.

This is an excellent tool for choosing colour schemes:

Once you've got your colours right, it will give you the colour codes to put into your host pages.

Or, use this list of web-safe colour swatches with their codes beside them:
