It takes some patience to learn HTML, but if you’re serious about blogging or setting up a website, it’s worth the effort. I am a self-taught designer and you can teach yourself too. Next time you run into a problem, instead of looking for a quick answer, take the time towork through a tutorial and gain a better understanding of how all this internet stuff works.
