Let me tell you a little something about me. When I needed to learn HTML, I probably went about it in the worst way possible. Honestly, it was a couple months before I really even understood what I was learning. I went about it the trial and error method. Not really the most effective approach. Basically, I had my own social networking page, and I wanted to spruce it up a little. So instead of taking the time to learn HTML properly, I picked up tidbits of information here and there. Luckily, I grew wiser as I realized that I was hitting walls left and right. When I decided to learn HTML, I decided to go the route I am most familiar with. I decided to use Video Professor’s Learn HTML tutorial.
