...this for me.? I'm interested in starting a web site and I've noticed that alot of people say to learn html. Is this a necessity or just a nice thing to know?

You do not have to know it but it helps. See WYSIWYG editors can make pages for you but if you know HTML youself you can jazz up your sites more than what most editors offer in their software. So i guess it all depends on what you are wanting to do and how attractive you may want it.

At first you will be fine just using the basic templates and everything, but what I found was that the more I used those things, and the more I played with them, the more I became comfortable with HTML. The bottom line is that you will eventually need to make a change, and you will spend hours looking up online or something to figure out how to move something or modify it. In the end, you will get familiar with HTML in a way that won't make you an expert, but you will be able to tweak the site to fit your needs. I personally like to start with basic templates and then look up html online for tips. I know very basic, elementary stuff, but it has proved helpful in dissolving my obstacles when designing web pages.
