Truth be told, despite the beginner frustration, I was enjoying learning
this stuff--it's been awhile since I learned something new that was this
challenging; I really enjoyed the challenge, wanted to overcome the
obstacles, and my brain was feeling hot and exercised--which it hasn't
felt in some time.
But the wheels fell off when I learned how to view source information of a
web page (didn't know you could do that); that was a sobering
moment--which led to a state of defeat.
When I took over the PUG from Mark Casinno I took it upon myself to both
learn basic HTML and to ensure that what I was writing was W3C compliant. I
think for the most part I succeeded.
The HTML requred for simple image viewing web pages is reasonably simple,
and since that is pretty much what I am interested in creating, I wrote
myself a template that I use for nearly everything and just paste in file
names to suit.
For myself, I think the HTML that is generated by most programs is pretty
bloated compared to what is needed, and I tend to eschew fancy code for fast
loading, easy to navigate pages. If I can't write it myself, it's probably
more complicated than I need.
Others have different needs though.
For generating code on the fly, when it suits me to go this way, I use Adobe
GoLive, the GESOs I've been putting up lately have been generated out of
Lightroom or Photoshop. At this point, I don't really want to deal with it,
so I've let my standards slip a little in the spirit of geterdone
expediency.
