Is learning HTML still necessary these days?
Surely, you may think, with web editors like Dreamweaver that do all the background coding for you, people don't need to learn such things anymore.
The fact is, even with all the best tools in the World, there will always be times when you want to "dip into" your HTML code and make some changes. For example, many sites (such as YouTube) allow you to embed videos into your own pages - they'll provide the code, but you need to know where to put it.
You could outsource basic HTML tasks, but even a simple task (like adding a hyperlink) could cost you dozens of dollars to outsource. Wouldn't it just be easier to spend 30 seconds doing it yourself... and with the ability to change it back if you don't like it?
The good news in HTML is one of the easiest computer languages to learn. In fact, that's why it was developed - to let novices add to the new "world wide web" of pages. Now, two decades after its invention, millions of people have learned the language.
While you may have been put off after trying to lift one of those 400 page textbooks off the shelf of your local bookstore, the basics can be learned in just a few minutes.
HTML is built around the idea of "tagging" - you wrap text you want to format in particular ways with simple codes. For example, if you wanted to make some text bold, you just wrap it in <> tags (e.g. this is <>bold< / b >)
The important thing to realize is that HTML is not difficult, and you shouldn't be put off. If you're able to use the Internet, you should be competent enough to code your own HTML. With courses like One Hour HTML, it's possible to have a good understanding of the language very quickly and easily.
So don't lock yourself out of your own site - unlock HTML, and discover that you may be a little smarter than you think!
