HTML

The week we learned about html I was amazed to see how much actually goes into the behind the scenes programming of a web page. Personally, I don't think that I want to go that route. It all seems too complicated for me--not having an ounce of technology gene in my body. So, I'd rather build my web page using a technology that's more user friends, such as Web Page Building for Dummies.
