If HTML and CSS learn to do it by hand with notepad, wordpad or something of the sort and same with CSS. Google is your friend when it comes to tags and neither are hard to learn or figure out. Most WYSIWYG editors hack and make code very very ugly and tough to decipher if you ever want to hand edit it.
an html page with some flash mixed in is what im gonna be working on once i choose a damn domain name

As a general rule, you want 20% or less of the entire page to be Flash, Java, Video etc.
The more you make static HTML, the faster and more simple it'll be. Smoother for more people.
Nothing worse than going to a site and see half of it cause they designed it to be viewed with only one browser on one OS etc.
I'd recommend http://validator.w3.org While you are working on your site, run it through there a few times and make sure it complies. That way you don't have to hear complaints from people not being able to see your site.
