AS previously stated, I'm not up on HTMLese, but i'm guessing that an
intergrated parser works (in HTML) the same way it works in WP. In
which case any good text editor should already have one. As for
syntax, I would thing that that would change according to what
language you are using.

I am aware of that (as per our tutorial mentions), but the fact
remains that, without knowing ANY HTML, I was able to put up a webpage
with MetalWeb.

Partially would denote that you found something wrong with the
NON-CODE (information) portion of the page.

I cannot speak for the bookmark lockup (unless it is due to the long
direct URL - which cannot be helped at the moment), but I'm guessing
the Size factor (title size 4) is causing the need to scan
side-to-side. That can (and soon will be remidied)

Here, again I have to claim ignorance. What are Meta tags? And what
are they good for?

Agian what tags? where? I don't really know what I'm looking at, so I
have to rely on what others tell me.

I do appreciate the constuctive criticism (although, truly
constructive criticism offers solutions when it points out problems).
For the time being I will have to get by with MetalWeb. I will learn
more about HTML when I have the time (I currently run 3 small
businesses out of my house - and have a part-time job).
