HTML Templates

I am VERY new to writing HTML.
Can anyone offer a web site where I can download HTML only templates?

I want to stay away from the CSS, JAVA, etc. and want to understand HTML
before moving on.

Thanks for any advice.

If that's the case, why did you post your query in a newsgroup dedicated
to CSS?

You should choose your newsgroups more wisely, methinks. ;)

Learn CSS simultaneously - it's easier that way.

You should also avoid "templates" for HTML. These perpetuate the idea
that HTML is difficult and _requires_ a template. It isn't - good HTML
design these days is about doing the bare minimum in HTML and the rest
with the CSS. The HTMl is barely more than the text you want, and some
absolutely minimal structure around it, which you can learn from a
couple of pages of a good HTML guide.

Obvously this means that the CSS is more complex, which it is. So you'll
be wanting a reasonable "default CSS" to use for starters. This is
certainly something you might download or borrow from elsewhere (try
Eric Meyer's site, or the CSS Zen Garden) but it's certainly not a "HTML
template".
