    This link is good also: http://werbach.com/barebones/barebones.html

    It'll be more useful for real beginners that the W3 link.

    Using tables for text-alignment is getting a bit outdated. Preferred way to format HTML nowadays is using CSS.

    There are a lot of usages for CSS - it's quite powerful - but I'll give you just a small example of how to keep all content of a page (or, the 'body' in HTML) away from the edge of the page.

    Code:
    <html>
    <body style="margin: 20px;">
    <p>This text is aligned at least 20 pixels
    from the top, left, right and bottom from
    the edge of the body.</p>
    </body>
    </html>
    You'll find loads of information on CSS at the W3C Cascading Style Sheets Homepage at http://w3c.org/Style/CSS/
