FACT: Learning HTML is essential if you want control over your website
 Whether
you are paying someone else to do the work on your website,
or you are creating your own web pages using a web-authoring
tool, you will never be fully in control of your website contents
unless you are able to update it yourself.
Sure, you
can contact your designer and ask them if they have the time
to make a few changes for you, or you can get to a computer
where there is a web-authoring tool that you are familiar with,
and maybe in a few hours or days your changes can be ready and
published, but, if you know HTML and have access to a simple
text editor, a file transfer program, and an internet connection,
you, yourself, can make those changes anytime, anywhere.
Knowing HTML, even the basics, gives you the power to publish what you want, when you want.
This 14-part video series teaches the basics of HTML and web-page design, putting you
on the right track to taking control of your web presence.
