'Holy HTML Batman'

This task made me realise I have been neglecting my inner nerd for too long.

I messed around with learning HTML many years ago, and have played with various types of editors, from CoffeeCup to Dreamweaver, since then. I have played the field but not really committed my self to a serious relationship with any particular type of editor yet.

It is important to have a working knowledge of writing HTML, I am aware that when you use programs like Dreamweaver they can create pages with superfluous code that may benefit from direct "tweaking" of the HTML, and I have found glitches every now and then that have been solved by looking at the code for the problem and then directly editing it.

I enjoyed making my page by tapping the code into TextEdit, Apples default editor, but found a few quirks with it (like having to change it from rich text to plain text). In the end It was a little frustrating having to type the code for every little thing you wanted to change. WYSIWYG software is the only way to go, as far as I'm concerned, but you need to understand how to write your own code in order fine tune the pages these programs create.

The question of who would win a fight between Superman and Batman is relevant to the topic, as far as I'm concerned, "Superman" is "TextEdit"(or equivilant) and "Batman" is "Dreamweaver" (or other WYSIWYG editor)

TextEdit is very powerful tool and can get the job done, but Dreamweaver has too many tricks up its sleeve. Where does Robin fit in? Robin is the HTML writing skills you need to get the most out of Batman, and together they make up ther dynamic duo of web page construction. No I have not been drinking.

This has all been a bit rushed, I am only home on weekends for the next 5 weeks, so I am trying to fit it all at once... may have to get Alfred to dust off the Bat-Lap-Top.
