Learning HTML

I've been through the deep dive of HTML but i'm still not able to sit down on my computer and write a website. I know the tags and the concepts, but I still don't know how to structure a website. Is this normal? Should I go back and redo the deep dive of HTML or should i continue with the Deep Dive of Css? Any suggestions?

After completing the HTML deep dive you should be re-create this as a web page:

Hey Muhammad, when you say you don't know how to structure a website, are you referring to the general structure of an .html file? Or are you more concerned with how to lay your ideas out on a page? Getting through the deep dive in CSS should get you started if you're worried about the latter question. HTML concepts are great and congrats on getting through it, but it's just the start. Digging in to the style, learning more about CSS and the ability to manipulate your sites content into meaningful arrangements, that's where you're going to start seeing things take shape. Keep on pressing forward!

I re watched the videos and redid the code challenges and I now have a better understanding of the Structure of a Website. I also went to http://w3schools.com and looked at the examples they had for every tag. Thanks for the tip, I plan to move forward.

Content on w3schools is kinda hit or miss a great alternative is HTML Dog.
