My Very First HTML Experience

So... many people ask me where I first learned graphic design or how to make websites, etc.. I tell them that I learned straight HTML before anything else and to this day I think it gave me a foundation for web that is impossible without studying code. 

 I always distinctly remember the feeling I had the first time I wrote out HTML code, opened the page and found a whole website had been created with only a few tags. I am always looking for a good website tutorial, but it seems everyone immediately thinks of Dreamweaver (or FrontPage, etc...) and once you get into software there are so many techniques and different "rules." With HTML, everyone uses the same language, it progresses and changes at times, but it's pretty much universal.

Today I stumbled across the same tutorial I used 6 years ago to make my first web page from straight HTML only. I loved it. I look at javascript and other codes and want to bang a hammer to my head there is just so much to force into my brain, but I love it. I love learning and HTML was one of my favorite challenges that first year of Graphic Design class.  So I'm sharing it with my readers :)
