I used to run a HTML Help forum. I was pretty darn good at HTML and helping others learn web design. I did most of my coding by hand and really enjoyed it. After a while I took several years off from web design because I found another hobby. (MMORPG's FTW!)
Fast forward to today. Now in addition to HTML we have CSS and PHP and heaven knows what else and I am totally lost with some of it. If the world would have just been satisfied with HTML I'd still be sailing along smoothly now. I guess a little frustration is worth it for the reward so I'll just keep plugging along and goofing up until I can get it right.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I hear you! When I was just getting good at HTML, I had to install WordPress and I had to learn more stuff again! Now I’m starting to learn CSS (not even PHP yet) and still am no closer to being comfortable with it. How’s the edit-comments tweaking going?
HTML and PHP, I have those two down. But yeah, php was very confusing at first. (but, its worth it to learn)
Sadly, I haven’t gone into CSS yet, thats why the main index of my site (quadium32.com) isn’t the most visually appealing page
heh i hate PHP for the fact that i have to learn yet another language. i am slowly getting some aspects of it, but HTML and CSS are my buddies for life!
Hi. I just stopped by to check out your avatars. I’m glad you got them working!
Why would it? PHP is more flexible. You wouldn’t have your plugins with HTML would you
I took a break from the blogs today… hope to start fresh tomorrow…
Thanks for stopping by…
It is very easy to change the appearance of your blog with WordPress… all you have to do is upload the theme you like and then switch it in your Presentation section…
I have a couple of other plugins I want to use but I’ll have to hack the comments file to set them up… and my comments file NEVER looks like the ones in the example…
It was only a mild personal rant. Nothing to take seriously. I’d have to agree with you there, hehe.
