George,

For a basic start, try these sites:

  http://www.access.digex.net/~werbach/barebone.html
  http://www.cosy.sbg.ac.at/~lendl/tags.html
  http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/demoweb/html-primer.html
  http://www.uni-passau.de/%7Eramsch/iso8859-1.html
  http://www.utirc.utoronto.ca/HTMLdocs/NewHTML/htmlindex.html

There are good books to learn from (Laura Lemay's is one of the
better ones) and lots of informative sites on the Internet where you
can more:
