Having read many varying answers to the questions:

How long does it take to learn HTML and CSS?

Can someone in their forties learn to code?

I still didn't know the answer.

I am a total newbie with zero programming knowledge and forty plus years of living under my belt.

I decided to set about learning HTML and CSS and document my learning journey along the way.

My first goal is to learn enough HTML and CSS to build a website and make it go live.

This is how is went.
