HTML HELP!

Hey thanks for looking at my post for help. I just started learning HTML and I am having trouble putting Heading/banner/hyperlinks/news in the location I want it.
I need to learn a basic site that looks like this:
[BANNER]
[link] News
[link] bla bla bla bla bla
[link] bla bla bla bla bla
Comments
<img src="url right here"> to insert an image
Your anchor for linking is <a href="url here">"Text here"</a>

To start...
<html>
<body background="black" text="lime" link="yellow" vlink="red" alink=blue>
<title> Meow meow </title>
<center> <img src=banner.jpg </center>
The body tag holds all the information for colors on the page. Background is obvious, this changes the color of the background of the page. The generic text on the page will be lime green, a link will appear as yellow text, a visited link will be red and a highlighted link will be blue. You can also use hexidecimal values in place of a color "name".
The title refers to the text at the very top of the page in the title bar. In this case it will read "Meow meow".
The center/img tag is to show an image. The image tag must be directed to the location of the image on your computer if you are working offline, or to a URL with the image if it is being hosted somewhere on the net. The <center> tag refers to where the image is placed on the page, in this case it will appear in the very center of the page. It can be changed to <left> or <right> to align the image in the appropriate position.
A <br> tag will create a break in the text, similar to pressing enter twice in a word processing program.
An <h1> through <h5> tag placed into a paragraph tag will changed the size of the text in that paragraph. H5 being the larget and H1 being the smallest.
To create a link to a sperate page or URL you need to use this tag...
<a href="http://www.mmorpg.com">; [<b>www.mmorpg.com</b>] A popular MMORPG site </a>
This link will direct you to www.mmorpg.com. The link on the page will read "[www.mmorpg.com] A popular MMORPG site"
I think that should get you along, if you need help or anythign just ask

Do the Banner thing Orcc suggested, then stick in a Table with a column for the Links and a bigger Column for the Text.
Then Learn CSS and your life will become much easier.
You may also want to invest in (not download from ww.isohunt.com) a copy of Dreamweaver MX and Website crafting will become as easy as putting together a Word document, yet you will still learn all the HTML you want to know on the way.
Hey thanks for your informations it helped alot!
Dreamweaver is a template creator for web design, much like Frontpage.

What are some popular dreamweaver tutorials?
Dreamweaver seems pretty easy- considering they do the HTML coding for you.

You should have tutorials in the software itself..................
Dreamweaver requires you to actually have experience with the language. You would need to take web language classes or read a thick web language book.
