    Did you teach yourself HTML?

    Or did you already know it before entering the biz?

    Or have you perhaps always paid a partner to do HTML for you?

    stories please

            learned way back in the day. was building sites (shitty ones) back in 94 just wish I had got into the business back then, but I was only 18 and was more focused on getting pussy than promoting it.

                  taught myself enough to get by and I use dream weaver for the rest.

                          I taught myself back in 1996 or so. I got a free page on geocities or one of the other free site places and would make changes, and then go through the code and see what changed. After I learned all I could from reading the code I bought a book on it.

                            I taught myself and have moved on to dream weaver but I always go through it again to tidy it up by hand...

                              Taught myself back in 97 using some book with a bright orange color. Still code all my pages myself in Notepad.

                              Started back with a Geocities site (/SiliconValley/Way/) can't believe I remember that. Bright green background with huge tables.. haha what an ugly site.

                              I'd recommend everyone who builds sites to learn HTML and start in Notepad themselves.. you'll be far better down the road

                                learned it myself. frontpage really helped a lot.

                                Often times I wonder why
                                There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                                When sickness comes I must decide:
                                When feelings go, theres suicide.

                                                    bought dreamweaver and messed around with it. Paid Lessons are quite useless. You tend to forget most of it.

                                                      taught myself html when I was 12 or 13, I forget... first I used HOMESTEAD, then GEOCITIES, then finally notepad

                                                      made myself my first "Geography" website, always got 100% in computer / website class

                                                      but I don't need it nowadays...

                                                      its like saying: does a real estate tytan need to know how to build houses well?

                                                        I got frontpage 2000, and then bought html 4 dummies.

                                                        Then I moved into Mastering HTML 4, which is a 30 pound 40$ book. And I still find some of the coolest shit in the 4 dummies book.

Then for whatever reason I clicked on 'Source' in Netscape one day on a site and took a look - it was all English except for the HTML tags which looked very simple, it dawned on me that this wasn't very complicated stuff. So I found an online HTML tutorial site and within a couple of hours I had my first website up with pictures. Then i got Hotdog to add some bells and whistles like animated test and music. Typical 97 era gaudy website. I got rid of Hotdog fast and went to Notepad and have done everything since with Notepad, I tried Dreamweaver but too many buttons to push.

                                                                                    LoL who would've thought a few years later I'd make a living off HTML and PHP

                                                                                      I learned HTML in the crudest way possible.

                                                                                      I got a WebTV shortly after they came out. That was my internet access at home for a year+. After playing around with it's limitations and discovering online pagebuilders several of us in a user group started toying around with making WebTV friendly pages.

                                                                                      To look at the source HTML of a page I had to type it's address into an online HTML validator. This is how I learned the fundamentals of HTML, along with help from online tutorials and pooling knowlege with the others doing the same.

                                                                                      This is before they added copy/cut & paste ability to WebTV in 1997 so I had to had carefully print any coding / scripts I wanted to use in a notebook and type it in to the online editor from that. I quickly learned how important every little ' was. That's right, to move text/coding around on a page, I had to delete it and type it all back in where I wanted it. I was so happy when they added cc&p to WebTV and even happier when I got a PC at home in 98

                                                                                      Many will tell you that WebTV is a piece of crap but I will tell you that if it weren't for it and I had put a PC in the house before it I would likely have used programs to create my earlier pages and I know I would not have gotten such a in-depth "hands on" foundation of HTML.

                                                                                      I've tried several HTML editors over the years but I always went back to Notepad and use only it now.
