So I put this assignment off and off because I thought it was going to be easy. HAHA! I've never wanted to throw my computer across the room more than I wanted to this past weekend. I had done a little dabbling with HTML but that was junior year in my undergrad program (5 years ago). I had forgotten pretty much everything so I was back at square one with learning the ins and outs. Still thinking this wouldn't be to difficult I procrastinated until late afternoon on Saturday and ended up spending my Saturday night still trying to write HTML. After semi-mastering what I was doing I got my page together. However, I don't really see the point. There are so many FREE web building sites that will write the code for you, why is it necessary to learn to write code? And, what is the point to "comments"? I read and read and don't think I understand.
I think I will be sticking with my program I use to build my web site that is free. It's working just fine!

"what is the point to "comments"?
In a production IT shop comments are extremely important!! It is a type of internal documentation to let the next person updating the code know why something was done originally or why a change was made.
Just a brief "prelog" (leading comment) to the html document is helpful to know just what is in the document so the developer doesn't have to read through the entire code to see what is going on. Adding a prelog comment with your name, the date, and a brief description, is an excellent habit to get into.
I agree to a point about if there are HTML editors out there why do I have to learn HTML myself? Well, I have a google site and it didn't allow me to do everything that I wanted to do. Some of the ways to line things up weren't right and I was frustrated. To know the language would have helped see the code and fix it from the original code. It is always so much easier to edit someone else's work than come up with an original and to know the codes helps modify.
