Make sure you find a class that moves along, you don't want to be stuck learning how to put tables into layers for the next 6 months, but a class that quickly moves through the key elements of building a website will save you monumental amounts of time.
If you just have to get started tomorrow, go with the blogs. If you do start a blog, but still want to build websites down the road.....take a class! 
Was my opinion clear? Sometimes I beat around the bush.

Funny you saying "take a class." I had to help a macromedia uni graduate design a site. The problem was I was the one looking for help. The problem with taking a class is that the internet moves so fast that many of the things you will be learning today will be deemed useless by the time you graduate. Sure it will give you the basics but i think it is a long route for a shortcut. Blogs are great, I helped set up one for my friends kid in 5 minutes and they were up and running
