What is wrong with HTML?

An assessment of web design...

Actually, I like html. I'll admit that my website maintenance mostly involved updating text and not all the bells and whistles of drop-down boxes, radio buttons, cascading style sheets, etc.

But then text is one of the strengths of html. It allows formatting that will, by default, be displayed in a web browser. And html reference information is always available since right-clicking on any web page allows it to be displayed as text, that is, html.

I was able to update my previous post by editing the html using the option from the compose screen. I made "Creative Commons" links instead of just text. Right click on my blog page, select view source, search for "Creative Commons", and you'll see the html that activates a link.

Pretty cool!
