Look, Ma, I Know HTML!

If the general population of our planet actually knew how easy HTML is, the internet would simply blow up. All at once. The whole thing. It can only handle so many pages, ya know. Most people seem to think that making web pages is some really complicated process that requires thousands of dollars of equipment and your local computer nerd. Of course, the reality is quite different.

Take my home page, for example. Yes, I know, I usually cheat when I edit my pages and use Netscape Navigator Gold, but since I'm in the Burke computer lab at the moment, I don't exactly have access to said wonderful program. So I had to get down and dirty and play with some straight HTML code. Gee, that was so hard. In about thirty minutes I just gave my page an entire facelift.

This is by no means my "great makeover" that I've been planning for some time. This is just a temporary thing to make the layout less annoying to me.

Anyhow, as I was saying, this HTML is so simple. It's not like writing an actual computer program (which actually takes some time to grasp and stuff). If HTML is indeed considered a language, it's gotta be the easiest one out there.

Let's just hope all the middle-school boys of the world don't figure this out.
