Can someone recommend the best books or classes for an idiot on the subject?  Having no ability to make small changes on my blog is becoming infuriating.

I was just in the same boat. I knew a little bit, but I wanted to know more (and from the beginning) on how to manage HTML. I got the For Dummies book on HTML, XTML, and CSS. So far so good :) (Though I’m sure there are more reputable books out there :)

As much as Marco, Paul, Todd, Alex, Graham and Marc taught me to Google it, there is literally no better way to learn than to actually build a site.

Jeremy is right. everything you need to know is right in front of your eyes right now. View—source has everything you need…however… when im having trouble starting a programming language and just need a basic understanding to start, i’m a big fan of the Visual Blueprint series. Heres the HTML BluePrint book.
Its super easy to understand. its short, light, has lots of pictures of code and dissects the code line by line. Its amazing for step one and two and preparing you for more.
