HTML

HTML, or Hyper Text Markup Language, is as interesting as it is difficult. I can honestly say that this was the first time I created my own HTML page from scratch and of course, being noob as I am, it was plain and boring. Though this was my first time creating a page, it wasn't my first experience. Back in High School, I used Myspace a lot. When I first started using it, my page was the default template. When I saw other user's pages, they were unique and had pictures, videos, and all sorts of .gifs. I was confused as to how they did that so I googled (gotta love google) on how to really customize your Myspace page. I saw HTML codes on a lot of things such as how to bold, add images, and all sorts of different options.

On Myspace, there are a lot of things you can customize, such as your layout. You can google layout generators and once you create it the way you want, there is a large HTML code at the end that you copy and paste into your Edit Profile in Myspace. When I did that, I saw the codes and how it was used to my actual profile and learned some things from it. After looking through it, it really makes more sense but of course, it is something that you would have to really study. All these codes you have to put in just to make a simple Myspace page is crazy. I think one day, there is going to be a program that would simplify making web pages. For someone to go into Notepad and type codes that could take up to days would really suck .. especially if one tiny mistake could ruin the whole page and you would have to go back and look for it.
