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.

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.

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 ![]()

Started back in 96. I tried to use a program called Hot Dog to help teach me but that didn't last long. I just used notepad and I still use notepad to this day, lol.

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

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.

Learned HTML from the book "The 24 Hour HTML Cafe" back in 97. Then studies the sources of other sites. Still do it all in Notepad.

i was on the Net for probably 6 months, not having any background in computers I assumed to make a webpage took a bunch of geek knowledge. 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.

Got online in 98' and in 99 I made my first site.. a Star Wars fan site. Made it all in geocities and notepad by reading source codes and html help sites.
LoL who would've thought a few years later I'd make a living off HTML and PHP ![]() I still pay webdesigners for my paysites cause I suck at web graphics but I do most of my other work in Namo Webeditor now.

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. ![]() ![]() 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.

I got started when I did some photos for an escort going indie.
The guy she was going to have do her web site started dicking her around. I was wanting to learn, so I jumped in with Frontpage. A mistake, but I had friends who could help. Now I handcode using jEdit, use CSS and I am learning to use PHP. Steady learning, all life long.
