So, I’d love to start my own small Internet blog, and I want to make it without any extra software, just plain HTML+CSS, maybe some PHP for convenience.
I have near-zero experience in programming (yes I know HTML is not programming language, but you get the point), and I just finished a wonderful starting guide, HTML For People. I loved it a lot, but it only covers the absolute basics, and I’d love to have a deeper dive.
Are there any HTML, CSS, PHP guides that are free, text-based (so, not YouTube videos), and give more than the very basics? Would love to hear your recommendations!
Thanks for the recommendation!
It’s a bit of both. For now, the goal is to be able to create and maintain a decently looking blog without depending on any external tools, completely manually. Then, as I get comfortable managing things manually and make sure I can always fix what’s broken with nothing but a text editor, I may look into various helper options. Essentially, I just don’t want to be caught in a situation when some tools are down and I can’t do anything without them.
I’d also like to learn HTML+CSS+PHP combo, because some of the things I want to self-host make extensive use of that and I’d like to understand their inner workings to service them reliably.
That said, I’ll keep your Python advice in mind!
