NET 11: Module 3 - HTML Tags

I kinda feel like I'm cheating in some way by already knowing about HTML and CSS. That being said I don't know a lot so I guess it all works out... and I'm rambling :o Focus! Focus!

So task: Follow tutorials and make a web page then reflect on the whole thing.

HTML is pretty simple if all you're doing is making a plain text filled page. It starts to get frustrating when you start adding the pretty stuff and having to contend with the different browsers and how they handle the code. Though when you've finish your web page and it all works it's like you've just one a victory over a horde of zerglings (well is it for me anyway).

The differences between HTML and blogging?

With HTML you have to do everything, the layout, the design and the input for the website. Blogging on the other hand is usually more like posting on forums, the site has already been designed and the HTML is already in place, you just need to add the text.

Blogging is also geared more towards a personal journal whereas HTML is creating webpages.

What do you like best?

If I'm just wanting to put a bit of info up then I'll just put it on my blog and be done with it. However I do prefer to make and design websites for their specific tasks. I like having the control that comes with hand coding the HTML (even if it is a bit messy at times >.>).
