Ok, no i'm notr a noob, I know your basic HTML by heart actually, but me and my friends are designing a site, and so far i've been the one to do most of the porogramming and flash work, but I just want some programming skills. What i'm really asking is, how do I do all that fancy stuff? I have some code done (I wrote it by heart mind you)
<BODY TEXT= "white">
<TABLE ALIGN="center" BGCOLOR="black"><TR><TD>
<IMG SRC="waffle_logo.png">
</TR></TD>
<BR>
<TR><TD>HELLO! :)</TR></TD>
<TR><TD>THIS IS OUR WEB SITE!!!</TR></TD>
</TABLE>
What can I do to make this site shine with that basic layout plan? (PS our site name is Atomic Waffle)

PSS: The table that says "HELLO :)" wil be like the navigation bar, and the table that says "THIS IS OUR WEBSITE" is for the content.

What fancy stuff? Some examples would help.
All I can say is make sure you know HTML fluently as you're going to need HTML for anything you do on the web...
If you want to make a site look nicer, images help, so just my making some graphics in a program like Photoshop can make a site look nicer...

You could use a template.
But if you want to hand code it. Head down to www.w3schools.com to read up about html

OK, I don't think you really understand. There's no HTML "code" that is going to make your site look "shiny" or "nice". That's called web design. You need to use HTML (which I don't think you no fluently, so head over to W3Schools) to layout images and content on your site. If you don't want to learn how to design sites, then a template would be better for you. Or if you'd rather use a visual program, Dreamweaver is pretty good for creating templates/layouts.

HTML is just mark-up, it alone cannot create a layout for you. You can use CSS to create a basic layout, but if you want a design similar to that of Newgrounds you need to create the images in photoshop/alternative graphics paackage. If you view the source of NG, you will see that the layout is made up of a series of images.

It's because you won't listen to us, you can't just gives us the HTML for a table, a bit of text and an image and expect us to make a layout for you.

You keep trying to reassure us that you know HTML fluently, yet no one has said you don't know HTML...
And you posted saying you liked the layout, then straight after saying you didn't. I smell insanity.

If you are so good at html you should know not to write your tags in capital letters.

Really? I looked it up on w3schools last night and was surprised. I just would never use it unless I was doing font-size: big; in my css but even then I'd never use it.

Woah this thread is going round in circles.
Scottspictures if you know HTML so well, then you should know how to make at least a basic looking layout using tables at least. (Did I just say use tables?) CSS is better to use for layouts, and you could pick the basics up pretty quickly. Stop telling us you know HTML dammit.
If you have a propper question, then feel free to ask it, but it's hard for people to help you at the moment. Starting you topic with "Ok, no i'm notr a noob" is only going to make people think you are. Saying "how do I do all that fancy stuff?" doesn't really give people a clear idea of how to help you.
People have recommended you go to W3Schools and learn CSS, which is a very good idea, you'll pick up lots of "fancy stuff" and "jazz" and it's worth while taking the time to read though both the CSS and HTML sections of their website.
If you have a real question, or if theres something specific you need help with, that people can actually help you with, then feel free to PM me or ask one of the other people. Thanks.
