It’s like in the movies when the young boy is at the dance and is too afraid to ask the girl to dance for fear of rejection.
That’s me to afraid to ask HTML to dance.
Actually terrified with anything to do with the Web or computers, I’m the guy who has trouble with itunes and just getting Microsoft word to cooperate is difficult.
I went and purchased Building a Website for Dummies the 3rd edition, which immediately made me realize that if people didn’t understand the first or second edition how was I possibly going to understand the third? Ha-ha
All joking aside I didn’t purchase the book and realize that the web is ever changing and technology calls for a third edition.
This doesn’t mean I am still not on edge about the whole thing. Honesty going in if I knew I had to create a website I probably would have bailed, but I didn’t and now am learning more than I could have imagined about the web.
I’m already making progress, I took this simple survey, which was probably for middle school kids and got 8 out of 10 correct. Impressive I know, but I guarantee 2 months ago I would have been lucky to get 4 correct.
Good thing I stuck around because the web and online journalism is not going away and if I want to pursue a career in this field I must be willing to tackle it head on.
So I guess what I am really trying to say is…
HTML may I have this dance?
