Front Page
A lot of the people I know, every affiliate, every bloggie, every site I've ever visited and liked, the webmaster or webmistress hand coded their sites. Yes, thats right, they hand coded the most simple and fun HTML with Notepad. And its not much of a hassle to hand code. I think of it as fun and the best way to actually learn HTML.Please excuse language, this subject makes me so very angry.
For some reason, schools, which promote learning and the best way to learn and remember things, use Microsoft FrontPage or some other lame program to do the HTML for you. Thats right, they were too fucking lazy to type all the HTML themselves, so they created a program to do it for them.
I see it as a lazy people program. Its just like Microsoft Word. You edit and type whatever you want, flip to the HTML screen, and there you have all the HTML done for you. Because you are too effing lazy to type up all the HTML. Too lazy to type simple letters in pointy brackets.
I think before you should use any lame program for your lazy arse, you should hand code first. That way you actually learn the tags and you can get into habit of closing tags, etc.
The thing is, I don't think my own Web Design teacher knows HTML. Well, here's some proof. A kid next to me had some sort of coding error and some words that was supposed to be the "title" tag were on his page instead. When he asked the teacher about it, the teacher pointed it out and said to delete it and it wasn't supposed to be there. But what he didn't see was the "title" tags that was around the words. It was like this:
<head
<title>Blah Blah Blah</title>
</head>
I saw immediately that the first "head" tag wasn't typed correctly. Well, why didn't the teacher find it? Why did he insist on deleting it without bothering to look at the tags it was in? Exactly.
