I have tried several different sources on the Internet. I am not using bootstrap; I enjoy doing my site from scratch. It helps me program.
I can't get my web page to auto adjust to the screen size. For example if you make the browser smaller the page collapse nice and neat.
I tried these codes from here:
but my web page doesn't collapse like the example.

You could start by closing your HTML containers, and giving a good example of what you've tried.
If you set an explicit width, width: 800px;, that's the width it will be rendered at.
Try setting the container's max-width for that and set the width to expand to that
The way that I usually do it:
.container {
max-width: 800px;
width: 100%;
}
Try using percentages instead of pixels. Pixels will give you a fixed width. Percentage with keep thing proportional.
Here is a good article to help you understand what the different measurements mean. Once you understand what they mean, you should be able to make a better selection depending on the usage you expect.
