ISPs who provide HTML helps:

I have located Internet Service Providers (ISPs) near me that provide HTML help. You should check out the homepage of your own ISP, to see what they offer. Many ISPs are happy to charge you for Web Design services, and it's easy to find any number of individuals who will do the same, for a fee. This collection of links, however, is an attempt to find help sites that are free, so you can learn to do this yourself with just a time investment, not a cash investment. You may find that one or another of these is more helpful to you than the helps your own ISP provides. In many cases, these sites provide a simplified method of producing a webpage that you can use to prepare a page, then you can save it to your own hard disk and upload it to the site of your choice, whether on your own ISP, Geocities, or some other similar service.

One of the nicest and simplest methods provided by an ISP is this automatic pagemaker designed by "Fifi," a denizen of the Wizard.com ISP in Las Vegas, NV, about 120 miles west of where I live. I referred folks to her site on my first homepage helper page, and still think hers is the greatest...though the server has changed the look and feel of their homepages considerably since then.
Another Nevada ISP resource page has some good links for learning HTML.
My own ISP, InfoWest, in St. George, UT might never forgive me if I did not include a link to their HTML help page. They prefer a souped-up version of HTML called "phtml," last time I really looked. I have stuck with the simpler, easier, and more widely used HTML myself. But their "Devshed" link is a very good one.
Another ISP site you might like to try is this one, which if you backtrack the URL, you will find he's grinding a particular axe. Maybe you will agree with or disagree with his views, but you can benefit from the coaching provided here, either way.
This site is the first of a couple that are very similar to Geocities because it lets you spawn your own website on its server, and provides simple tools to let you do it.
Here's another one that lets you do your own thing on their server, if all you want is one page. They will support larger sites, four pages or larger, for a monthly fee. They are happy to provide the design and everything for anybody out there who would rather just purchase some expert services.
If you'd like to see an excellent example of how a college or university ISP provides HTML helps, then check out the University of Toronto site which has a well-organized tutorial, authored by Ian Graham, who also has written several books on more advanced topics. Follow the links to the .../HTMLdocs/NewHTML/ page for the specifics. I purposely am sending you to a more basic link page that has dozens of other internet-related links.
Another Canadian resource is the Oxford County Library help page which also has links for help with Linux, Pine, Telnet, and other internet-related topics. (Oxford County is located in southwestern Ontario Province.) Their site is an excellent example of a public organization type of ISP; if you surf the site you will note they serve as host for homepages of a number of non-profit organizations in the county.
While this is not really an ISP site, it is produced by a consortium that is responsible for internet standards. They point out that this particular page is no longer maintained on a current basis, but even if some links are broken, there are so many references you will still find a lot of useful itmes here.
LAST OF ALL! If you have simply been dying to know more about just what an "ISP" is, then this other page from the Oxford County Library provides the best information about the terminology that I have run across. Three cheers for our Canadian colleagues!
