I used a little known search engine called Google and it helped find me loads of sites with tutorials and guides. I suggest you start by typing "html tutorial" into this search engine.. you never know.. might get lucky

That's how I'm doing it right now, but I was just wondering if you guys took classes or something...
Here's a site that I used to learn enough to post news and such at Icrontic.
I didn't get into it real deep, but this site has lots of info.
On the left you'll see the primers. http://www.htmlgoodies.com/
I started by building sites in Dreamweaver, and then I started learning what code it was generating. I still use Dreamweaver to save time, but I can just as easily do it in notepad.

Would you believe that I just bookmarked that site before I read your post?

I tend to look at a website's source codes if I like it so thats sort of similar.
I took two classes at my college, Building Business Websites I & II, and learned a bit about HTML and Dreamweaver. I got hired for a job as a website designer at a flight simulator group back in early 03. Then, I basically had to relearn everything, but learned it practically this time instead of the school style HTML (tables).
From there, I thought myself PHP and MySQL, both from books and from the online documentation. I learned the MySQLi interface from reading the documentation online.
I reccommend reading the online documentations if you have a technical mind. Otherwise, find a good book, preferably one of the Dummies series or something by O'Reilly. They may have some fluff, but you'll get a great intro and you'll start getting that techical mindset.

I got a Flash, CSS, and Dreamweaver book from the dummies series.
There's a book called Dreamweaver: Hands on Training that was the required coursebook in my business website class. It gives you a very thorough knowledge of DW, but it doesn't teach you the best practices. You could def. learn something from it if you don't know Dreamweaver well.
Otherwise, find a book that has HTML and CSS together. The goal is to start out right, and most books teach you to use tables for layout. That usage is very bad practice, and it sticks if you learn it from the beginning. That's why I reccommend starting with CSS and then using tables for their intended purpose: data display. (Not layout!) You do not want to have to unlearn it, it is terrible.
