I had to learn the hard way. When I first started with my webpage, I just threw every technique I learned from HTML and CSS into the page without thinking about layout. That was a bad idea, but it turned out to be a great lesson, firstly I allowed my creativity to run free in designing the page, but I failed miserably in making something interesting because I dont't have have the tools yet to make an awesome page. However, with a few hours here and there, and googling around I slowly improved the layout and style of the page. I'm definitely getting more comfortable with HTML and CSS. I can say I don't feel like a complete noob now but there's still plenty to learn and things I want to add to the page. Of course that will happen over time for now its safe time now to start learning Javascript.
In the meantime, if you haven't seen the webpage yet, be sure to head over and check it out. Its constantly changing. I think I should take screenshots of it every now and lol. My website
