Sounds a bit OT to me, but:

Forget about iWeb. It stupidly outputs mostly just divs and spans. The result
tends to be valid, but meaningless. Use TextWrangler instead.

HTML is dead-easy once you realise it is a *markup* language -- not a
programming language (nor a lay-out language!). Start here:
<http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/>. Most documents don't need anything fancier
than is explained there (but you can of course always dig deeper if you feel
like it).
