Working on HTML codes to get things right

Never did any web coding or scripting before cause I spend most of my time on arts and cgi stuffs. I need to create some effect and alter some HTML codes to get the stuffs I need to present within this blog. Therefore, I cramp my head and spend some time on researching the HTML codes within the net. Lolz, coding stuffs really killing me. Though, my game programmer friend is doing something more hellish than this.
