There are many books and websites that offer tutorials and articles to help beginners learn CSS and HTML — both of which can be extremely useful to bloggers, particularly WordPress users who self-host their blogs and want to edit their themes.
However, finding free online resources that are easy for beginners with no CSS or HTML knowledge to understand can be challenging.
Following are several free online resources that I recommend to help you learn CSS and HTML without feeling overwhelmed or intimidated:
