I'd recomend starting with python actually.

http://www.python.org/
In particular see their beginners guide, which looks helpful.
http://www.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide_2fNonProgrammers

There is nothing wrong with C/C++/C#, but they are all a but more complex than what you need. Also the compile-run cycle tends to be fairly long, while python is closer to instant. Most languages fall into the catagory of nothing wrong with them, but there is no one language that you should use for everything, so you will end up learning several if you get into programing. If you don't get into programing, python is well suited for the types of things people who rarely program want to write a program for.

There are many things wrong with visual Basic. The largest is that by being idiot friendly, idiots tend to use it, and thus a large protion of program written in Basic tend to be very bad from any standpoint. You can write okay programs with Visual Basic, but it gets in the way of your attempts. Unfortunatly most buisnesses run on VB so if you want a job there is a good chance you will need it. Start with something else though, hopefully the culture of "real" languages will influence you, and when/if you do use VB you aren't warped to the wrong way people tend to use it.

BTW, real programers do not consider HTML a programing language. HTML is a markup language, and completely different from a programing language. Art and programing are different skill sets, few people are any good at both. If you create beatiful web pages you might not have the mind to write good programs. Nothing wrong with that, I can't create beatiful web pages.
