If you're really interested in learning HTML/CSS I highly recommend 
initially working with a nice text editor like editpad lite: 
<http://www.editpadpro.com/editpadlite.html>http://www.editpadpro.com/editpadlite.html
Or the Crimson Editor:
<http://www.crimsoneditor.com/>http://www.crimsoneditor.com/
I prefer Editpad lite, but it's free only for a non-commercial 
purposes, unlike the Crimson editor which allows for commercial use.

Dreamweaver, is a great tool, but I also know a lot of people who end 
up using it as a crutch and never really grasp a lot of the 
fundamentals of HTML.

Another fantastic tool that can help you a lot is the firefox web 
developer extension:
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60>https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60
which is especially helpful for learning CSS and seeing the effects 
of edits on pages immediately, but it also has many other very 
helpful features.
