I just want to learn enough HTML to make a super cool, unique Myspace page. I know there are tons of generators, but that's just not my cup of tea. If I am going to do it, then I am going to do it right. I am pretty naive when it comes to technology, but I am a quick learner when given the right material. Could someone point me in the right direction? I'd truly appreciate it.

I agree with everyone who pointed you towards w3c schools. It's really cool because there are a lot of samples, and you can change the code right there on the web page and rerun it to see the result of your changes.
The other bit of advice I have is to find web pages that you like and use right click > View Source to see all of the code that goes into making the features you like. I learned by copying pages that I liked down to my computer and playing with them. It also helped me learn how to add some really cool features like scripts and input controls.
If you don't already have a good web authoring tool, you can download mozilla composer for free @

Although you can write HTML using only notepad, it is much easier to learn if you have an authoring tool in which you can immediately see the impacts of your changes as your making them. In composer, you can switch between a visual design mode and a code view simply by clicking on a tab at the bottom.
Happy coding!

I taught myself HTML back in the day with the Visual Quickstart Guide published by Peachpit Press. I believe Elizabeth Castro is the author. I just bought myself a new, updated copy to replace the one I had back in 1997. Not only is it easy to follow when you're first starting out, it's set up so that you can easily use it as reference when you just need to look up one thing. I've picked it up many times to do just that. You can get a new copy for under $20 from Amazon.
I just noticed that you said this is for a Myspace page...so learning HTML from scratch might be overkill but it still might be worth considering if you do plan on branching out from Myspace at some point in the future.

particularly than "quickest" or "least complicated", I decide to supply you what substitute into (for me) the "ultimate" thank you to income HTML. It substitute into to study the top First HTML from O'Reilly and co-workers from front to back. an fantastic thank you to income HTML and CSS in case you could learn with the aid of examining. not particularly everyone can learn this type. the top First sequence seems ok finished.

I agree that W3schools is a great place to learn. Other topics and tools as well as reviews can be found at the URL below and I think that they can also be a great help in learning to actually run a website. Good luck!

This web site offers free courses on HTML programing.
http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmlxhtmltutorials/HTML_Tutorials_Web_Design_Tutorials_Beginning_HTML_and_Web_Design.htm
That may take longer than want, but they also have HTML editors, tag library, and HTML codes.
http://webdesign.about.com/About_Web_Design_HTML.htm
This is something you may want to play with later on to just learn a little more in HTML programming.
And this is supposed to be a good free web design studio too.
