I learned my HTML basics from WebMonkey tutorials and from building an Angelfire webpage back, way back...in the day :) I have NO clue what CSS is, and it frightens me but someday I'll probably meander into learning about it too. Why not. I already know I don't WANT 2 b a web architect, but learning about what it takes never hurts! :)
My son's doing the whole programming/game design thing at college. He has an exponentially larger amount of patience than his mother :)
I missed out on alot when the internet began....we didn't get it til 99. Always behind.
You rock as usual :)

CSS is so much easier then HTML since it is more human readable (even though they say HTML is human readable). If you manage to ever get over to the wordpress platform you'll be doing alot with CSS in themes (you also do it in blogspot themes).
I managed to first get online to the "real internet" back in 94, but I didn't do any HTML for years. After moving to a CMS (content managment system) or blog platform I can say I would never move to static pages done in HTML ever again.

An interesting post. I do concur that with the introduction of GUI front end web editors, the needing to know the ins and outs of HTML has become somewhat redundant. It's particularly telling when you see these days how much a web designer now gets paid (a pittance). The real knowledge and skill is web development, moreover the development of web applications. I do use web editor, but I'm one of those people who likes to look at the code to see what it's doing (I'm a bit anal that way). I'm far more impressed by people who create the wonderful web applications.
