Doc Types! and BASE HREF's

Hey HTML'rs...

I am stumped as to not WHICH DocType to use in defining my header, but
WHERE to put it...It seems that some validators are very persnickety and
wish to see it in line 'x' while others say it is just fine to put it on
line 'q' etc. I am very confused...

Also, is there a definitive resource for determining which Doc Type to
use? I know there's "loose" and "transitional"...It's so confusing to a
newbie like myself.

Secondly, I also am wondering about BASE HREF tags. What are they used
for and are they necessary for good code (HTML 4.0 of course)?

More naive musings from me--
TIA,
Jay
