HTML part 3

The difference between blogging and webbing?

Ok, yes, yes, yes you need to know html to create effective webs sites and blogs. Blogs are a little easier if your using a service such as "Blogger", but I still find html is the way to go. The controls in Blogger are very limited and don't real give you many options for formatting pages. You really need to know html if you desire to thrill your audience.



For a recent example—I was trying to insert a link or an anchor to entry within my blog but there are no tools to do this. I had to ask the magic Blackboard for a answer, and it supplied one.

As for creating a web site only in a text editor, well that's for the people who enjoy pain. People who like to do things the hard way, you know the type—to make a real fire you MUST use a flint stone, never matches. Me, I like to use matches, but in the case of web sites it's Dreamweaver all the way, if I need code I can use the code viewer, but I'm much better of not to (I usually stuff it up).

But the point is you can create web site and blogs without knowing html but it's better if you do.

So the last point is unless your hand coding, blogs and web work are much the same.
