    One of the best tutorial sites (that also publishes books on web development in numerous languages) is: sitepoint dot com.

    There are also a lot of new startups that teach coding, one of the more popular ones being: codeacademy dot com.

    Will you still be using wordpress? the reason I ask is most people just find a theme they like in wordpress and install it, make a few tweaks here and there and away you go

    I think you should just mainly start with the intermediate html and then move into more advanced html along with CSS and javascript as these are the main things when creating a website btw what sort of website are you thinking of making?

    I agree with the other people saying to get more familiar with CSS/HTML. I'm learning right now just like you and I've discovered how hard it is to make that code cross-browser and the work with different sized monitors. Once you can make a website work in all the popular IE/FF/Etc browsers, then move on to more complicated stuff. If your HTML/CSS doesn't look right, it doesn't matter what your website is.

    PHP is a good server language to learn, but don't forget that client languages are just as important such as jQuery and CSS.

    I'd say client languages are MORE important, and should be priority. No matter what server side language you learn, you cannot avoid HTML or CSS, and Javascript follows closely behind.

    I'd say 3 highly useful frameworks for the above: Compass, SCSS, and Coffeescript (with jQuery). Compass gives you an easy way to implement cross browser compatible CSS3 features (like @include border-radius(4px, 4px)), SCSS introduces variables and mixins into CSS (among other extensions), and Coffeescript just rocks.

    Course, get the basics down first, but always be on the lookout for how you can be more efficient once you understand the magic these tools hide.
