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

taught myself back in '97 and still handcode to this day....

learned it myself..still handcode everything so I know what the fuck I am doing.

taught myself html so i could create super leet aol hax0r websites for aol 2.5 !!

around the same time for me... bought a book on how to do html

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 , started last year. Know I am working on figuring out .php

yea i gradually learned it back when i was like in middle school...

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

I don't know HTML :(

same here. opened a geocities account at lunch time, printed an HTML tutorial and read it during math class. made a video game cheat code site when i got home.

yeah, just learned by looking at the sources of pages.

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 :2 cents:

learned it myself. frontpage really helped a lot.

yeah i taught it to myself in 95, in a university lab.

same exactly as me

taught myself in 1997 but too lazy to handcode these days :winkwink:

I like learning things myself.

yes, i did :thumbsup

I make millions for others doing what I do...

I learn HTML all by myself. i read books and practice it before i knew it...i can make a simple web page. :thumbsup

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.

Mark

i learned html while putting a porn site on tripod

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? :Graucho

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.

My mom bought me a HTML-book when I was ~13-14. Thanks mom.

... without HTML knowledge can't be anybody a good webmaster I think...

yes - I download source codes from sites I like

Taught myself every programming language that I use. I actually got hired to program in C without knowing how and taught myself very quickly on the job!

I learned HTML by using Arachnophilia back in 97.

taught myself html a long time ago. started out making bullshit pages years ago. ran a little punk site for a while. and started from there.

LoL...look at my site.. you can tell. I still don't know it...just do what I can. What little I've learned I did from looking at coding on other sites (mainstream and adult).

when I started a long time ago I barely even knew anything about computers let alone html.. so yep, I'm self taught with everything

I bought a book about HTML:)

I started with HTML back in '99

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.
