I wouldn't worry too much. If they accepted you then they know your perfectly capable. Don't be afraid to let them know your new to this and they should have patience.
As for recommendations I suggest you just go over what you will need to be able to do for your job. HTML is rather easy so it shouldn't be too difficult.

I'm not exactly afraid. I'm good with html and CSS, I'm nervous because I want to grow towards web development and it's the first job where I can see myself getting somewhere.
I supose I just needed some encouragement. :)

I'm actually having trouble with getting clear job specifications... management says one thing, colleagues say another...
If you had to chose between content management and newsletter creation which would you chose? Same pay and all..

This is a crucial thing to remember -- everyone has to start somewhere, and it's better to ask for clarification on something than to feign knowledge and waste everyone's time. HTML isn't overly difficult, but email newsletter formatting can be tricky to get right in every browser and mail client. Don't be discouraged!
