When I first started learning HTML, I felt overwhelmed. I followed many YouTube channels and tutorials, but I couldn’t retain much. It felt like I was swimming in a sea of information without a clear direction.

But then everything changed.

My Learning Routine

I discovered a fantastic creator, Anurag Singh (anuragsinghprocodrr), whose tutorials broke down HTML concepts clearly and practically. His teaching style helped me actually remember what I was learning instead of just watching passively.

Every day for one week, I dedicated 1-2 hours to:

Watching his HTML tutorials
Practicing code on my own editor (VS Code)
Building small parts of a project step-by-step

The Project That Made It Real

Instead of just learning theory, I decided to build a simple personal portfolio webpage. It had:

A header with my name and navigation links
About me section
Projects showcase
Contact form

After finishing the code, I deployed my site on Netlify — seeing my work live on the internet was incredibly motivating.

Tools I Used

VS Code for coding
Netlify for free deployment
Google Chrome for testing and inspecting elements

Key Takeaways

Consistency beats intensity. Short daily sessions worked better than marathon study days.
Build as you learn. Projects make concepts stick.
Use good resources. Finding the right teacher (like Anurag Singh) made all the difference.
Deployment is empowering. Publishing my work online boosted my confidence and accountability.

No Turning Back

Once I saw my simple webpage live, there was no going back. The confusion turned into excitement and confidence. I’m now ready to learn CSS and JavaScript next — and keep building.

If you’re struggling with HTML, remember: it’s normal to feel lost at first. Find a teaching style that clicks for you, practice regularly, and build projects. You’ll go from confused to confident faster than you think!
