Is this you? If so, that's about to end. I was there and
know what it's like to feel that frustration with learning Expression
Web. Because of that frustration, and lack of easy to follow
resources, I've created this web site. This site is for all of you
who are frustrated and want to learn how to build and manage your own
Web Site.
I have 2 excellent products that will help you learn how to use Expression Web 2 & 3, and do so quickly. Not only are they Excellent, they are Affordable!
First, my newly updated online class which is packed with Videos, Document Downloads (these are chapters from my book), Scripts, How Tos, and so much more. This class is self-paced. You watch the videos at your leisure, and read the PDF documents in your free time. Only $49.99 one time fee to access the class for 6 entire months! That comes to $8 per month. That is a steal!!

3. CSS Tutorials
&
HTML Tutorials This section will teach you the basics of CSS and how to create and apply css styles to your web pages. We will review CSS Basics, Layouts, Selectors, Declarations, and so on....
Realize, however, we need to learn about the HTML that we will style with the CSS as the two languages work hand in hand. Fortunately, Expression Web makes all of this a lot easier. There is no need to learn every detail of HTML nor CSS, yet you can build a professional web site.
That said, it would be helpful if you understood some basic concepts and a few HTML/XHTML tags. We use these tags to provide instructions to the web browser as to how to structure our web pages. We then use CSS to tell the web browser what the HTML should look like.
For instance, we will use the paragraph tag to tell a web browser, hey this is a paragraph. We will then use CSS to style the paragraph by specifying font-families, font size, and font color. Therefore, for every HTML tag or element on your web page, we can create a CSS style to control the appearance of that tag or element.
The best way to learn HTML and CSS, in the context of Expression Web, is by watching the video tutorials and reading over the written tutorials. One of the main HTML/XHTML tags you will need to understand is the div tag. The div tag is used many times, espcecially when we make out layouts.
