Well, you pretty much need to have an idea of how html works if you want to build a website. Thats of course... unless you use one of those site builder tools then you don't necessarily need to know any html.

Learning html is very easy and the basics can be learn quite fast. A useful resource which comes to my head straight away is the w3 schools site. It pretty much covers most if not all that you would need to build a site.

You can learn html if you want or you can also use programs such as Frontpage or Dreamweaver which will generate the html code for you.
There are a lot of tutorials online where you can learn html. html is pretty easy to learn.

I would advice you to have knowledge of html tags while using dreamweaver or frontpage too. Somtimes it makes easy to update and if you are planning to go for dynamic sites in future then you can set html tags with that particular language.

My recommendation would be to start out with code, and dont even bother with Dreamweaver. Those programs make it easy at first, but once you get into more complicated realms they just slow you down.

speaking of DreamWeaver, does anybody know if there exists an opensource counterpart of this?

Oh also if you don't want to use html you can make a basic website with Google page builder: http://pages.google.com/

you can also try freewebs.com for more non-html required website alternatives.
