Time to do it…   

Yep that’s right boys and girls. Before db goes totally postal, it is time that you actually take a few minutes and learn…

HTML
(insert dramatic music here)

Uninstall that pirated, expired copy of Dreamweaver!
Delete Front Page!

Belly up and do it!

But, you might be asking “why?”

You see, when you use a WYSIWYG HTML editor, it makes the code all wonky. For example the following line:

< B >Hello World!< /B >


Nice and simple HTML. But when you try to do the same thing in and editor, you get something like:

< p font size=”1″ >< b >< em >< strong >Hell< /font >< /b >o< b > < strong >
< p font size=”1″ >< em > < b >< strong >World!< /font >< /p >< /em >



You think I’m making this up? Go ahead, load up your editor (Dreamweaver is the worst) and try typing out a simple paragraph with some formatting. Ugh, what a disaster.

I mention this because I’m working on a project right now, a really big, HTML only site (+50 pages). And, they decided to download a copy of Dreamweaver and make some changes. I am not kidding when I tell you that it took me 9 hours to go through all of the pages to correct all of the f’ed up HTML that was left behind.

It’s not that tough gang, really. Give it a go! Heck, you can get a copy of HTML for dummies almost everywhere too.

Oh yea, appearantly fat girls aren’t reading w(t)f or are ignoring my posts. Again, could you please, please, pretty please with Oreo cookies, hot fudge and cheese on top stop wearing shirts that are too short? Myself and others would appreciate it!

That is all
