Everything Plan9 just said. Html is so freakin' easy, I can't understand how someone can be in the online business for more than a week and NOT know html. The popular excuse seems to be "well, I'm a bigwig, I don't need to know... I have my "people" do that menial stuff for me...."
staying with the construction reference here.... if anyone thinks the bigwigs in construction don't know how to read a ruler or a set of blueprints, you're living in a dreamworld.
it's not about having "people" to do things for you... that's expected. Everyone's got their people. But not knowing how to at least
read html, and especially when you're
in the online business, is today's electronic equivalent of being illiterate.
