Hi Christine, I've been able to write HTML since I took a HNC in computer networking c.2002/3, to be honest I always use Dreamweaver and only ever edit with notepad when I can't get the application to do *exactly* what I want. From personal experience I'd say 90% of all the code writers I know use some form of application other than notepad, it's just easier and quicker that way.

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.
