Up until 2 days ago I had never written 1 line of html code--not one--for
any purpose. I have spent the last two days, however, learning about html
and learning how to write some html code using Notepad so that I might get a
simple index page up. Oh my gosh, am I brain dead. (Aside: as I write
this, I can hear the most beautiful live xylophone music coming through my
study window. It's absolutely delightful. Someone is playing in his or her
backyard somewhere across the alley.) I did, in fact, get something
written, but oh, is it stinky--and I never did get it just the way I wanted.
On the one hand I am a bit proud that I learned to write some code--and I
learned how to write a css style sheet--and I was successful at linking the
two, though they didn't link at first, and it took me forever to find the
typo. I had written *type="test/css"* instead of *text*. Ugh! And I got
the jpeg to link to where I *almost* wanted it, but I never could figure out
how to get my little two item list to align the way I wanted to. Still,
like I said, I'm a bit proud of my meager results here.
But that's just the problem--oh, how meager the results are! I have no
problem being a beginner at anything--it's where everyone starts when
learning something new, but gee wiz, you'd think after 2 days I'd be a
little further along! Moreover, I started looking at the code for some
elegantly simple web pages that I admire, and I'm totally intimidated by the
complexity of the code and feel quite sure it would take me most of the next
12 months just to get close to learning this stuff.
Hence, I'm going to throw in the towel and will probably use Word Web Pages
to get something up.
Lastly, to all you Cyber Techie Code Writers who can write this stuff at the
speed of light, I sincerely tip my hat to you in admiration. Cheers,
Christine
