Yay! Some coding!

Finally getting around to doing a little coding in this subject. Even if it is rather simple.

The tutorial was terrific! Very nicely laid out, easy to follow and very informative. Everything a learner needs to understand the basics of HTML (and a little CSS).

I was even impressed if the notes on possible shortcomings and things to look out for as well as tips and links to other resources.

So after following some of the tips and tags, i came up with this:


(gah! i wish this blog would just display the image in its original format and size...)

I already knew a lot of the tags described in the tutorial and didn't expect to learn much more, but i was surprised to discover several tags i never knew existed!

Tags such as the definition list, quote, and attributes for the horizontal rule might just be handy in the future ;)

I think HTML is still the simplest and the best. Modern scripting languages might enable people to develop funky looking sites, but sometimes the simplest of things are the best. There is nothing like a clean, well laid out site.

Obviously WYSIWYG editors, such as that in a blog are a great way to quickly make content, but even knowing a small amount of HTML can be far more powerful in what you are able to achieve.
