I remember it being a breath of fresh air to learn HTML and write it myself compared to wrestling with the free web authoring tools I had at the time.
I found this page on a freeware gaming site I used to run. This post in 2005 was an update where I had moved from no-code web software to writing HTML directly.
Text: I have redesigned the site. This time using straight HTML! Why? I was tired of using the authoring software I had because it made updating a hassle. I'm eliminating the "middle-man," so to speak. It's helping me learn HTML by doing it this way. Plus, the site probably loads a lot faster. So it works out for all of us in the end!
This track is so beautiful to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dIUFC6o0eo
You know I love me some home-cooked apps!

Let me take a sec to promote a friend’s stuff. We share the same disability and she makes the cutest shirts and stickers! https://cutelootarts.com
@jak2k@mastodontech.de There was some kind of ::moz-selection selector in the Prism stylesheet that was messing up all the styles for Chrome.
@deferred@ieji.de Thanks!
If it wasn’t for blogs, I wouldn’t know anything.
I’m primarily a Firefox user so I’m only now noticing that my code samples in HTML for People weren’t being syntax highlighted properly in Chrome. That’s now fixed.
Oopsie.
Has anyone compiled a list of HTML web components?
I’m absolutely blown away by the response HTML for People has received so far. Wow. I really appreciate the kind words, feedback, and bug reports!
@shane@zirk.us Thanks for the kind words!
@ticky@queer.party @khleedril In my defense it was a CSS problem, not an HTML one. 😛
@ticky@queer.party Ok it was a me problem lol. I think I fixed it. Mind trying it again?
I’m getting tons of boosts and replies right now and am having trouble keeping up. Just wanted to say two things real quick:
1. THANK YOU! People are being so nice and supportive and I really appreciate it.
2. I had some DNS issues going on there for a minute but I now have a temporary fix in place.
@ticky@queer.party Thanks, I just fixed that, although I’m not sure why the syntax highlighting isn’t showing up for you. Do you disable JavaScript?
The wait is over. HTML for People is OUT NOW!
I feel strongly that anyone should be able to make a website with HTML if they want. This web book will teach you how to do just that. It doesn’t require any previous experience making websites or coding. I will cover everything you need to know to get started in an approachable and friendly way.
And it’s free for all. 🚀
