1. Get yourself a text editor and some tutorials. You can start with
<http://www.w3schools.com/>, but ...
2. Remember to separate content from presentation. Use CSS for
presentation.
3. Remember to use tables for tabular data, calendars and such. Tables
are not for dividing your page up into sections.
4. Remember to use lists for lists, navigation lists, et all.
5. Remember that there is probably an element in the HTML spec
that is specifically for what you want, so don't try to reinvent the
wheel with bloated markup.

Most important of all:
Don't try to use Frontpage or Word to generate web pages for you. HTML
is not that difficult.

Here's the spec:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/

Here's a simplified version:

Here's the CSS spec:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1/ (level 1)
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/ (level 2)
and http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/css/
