Module 3-HTML task.

Record any difficulties you encountered with these exercises. Record your thoughts about html - do you feel a sense of achievement? What are the differences between html and blogging? what do you like best?

To be honest I find coding html difficult. It doesn't come naturally. I know many people find it really easy, but I don't. I LOVE designing-I just LOVE Dreamweaver! I love Photoshop, Illustrator, & all those other visual programs. I am very visual-I like to see a concept/page/layout evolve before my eyes. HTML is all..words-and squiggles! Don't get me wrong-I also love words-I'm a writer, and enjoy words, they too seem to unfold upon the page in a way that can be sometimes surprising, magical even. HTML is dry. It's not art!

Well I guess that's not true-it is an art of it's own. And I want to be a web designer as well as a print designer-so I need to know html; and css, and XHTML and all those other coding languages. But I don't find it in any way intuitive-it's hard work, and boring. I prefer blogging any day! In fact, I prefer doing just about anything else! However, I have to say, after a fair bit of practice I can now hand code a basic site without looking (too much) up the various codes. Yay. :-D
