I went to good-tutorials.com and they have quite a few tut's on web layouts and whatnot. I just don't understand how you're supposed to use them once they are done. What do you have to do to code them?

[ZeroTheHero]

Put the code into notepad and save as .html .php etc.

You have to be pretty 1337 to use notepad. (Its not that hard though)
In my web apps class we use Frontpage and that would be good for beginners. (as apparently you are)
There are many other editors out there, you should just find one you like and practice with it alot.

Well, can you write pure code in notepad?  I know you can in DreamWeaver, where you can switch between visual and Textual views on the fly (WhatYouSeeIsWhatYouGet Editor).
You don't have to be THAT good to be able to use Notepad, eventually you can visualize how things will look.
Just open a page like Google and right click and say "View Source."

They don't actually provide the code so you can't just copy and paste, you have to write it yourself.

Then what is your question?

It really isn't

Omg. HTML is intended to be written in notepad. Just look at http://www.w3.org/. Dreamweaver and other shit just fucks it up. It generates so much unwanted code.

Ive used frontpage, notebook, and Dreamweaver, and Frontpage generates a LOT of unwanted BS code. But i have never seen a situation where dreamweaver does the same thing! Maybe in older versions of it or something

[throwingks]

I do all my sites in notepad. Tables, frames, etc. It isnt that hard.

Notepad or any text editor can be used to build a web page, i.e Wordapad, MS Word, Corel Word Perfect. In the end its all just text formulated into applicable code. Though, why the hell would you want to use a text editor or even recommend a text editor to build web pages.

Apps like Front page, Dreamweaver, even a free app such as html-kit are chock full of tools to help manipulate the code in manner to easily and quickly create enhanced pages.
