“Of Bears And Bull”

Vic and HTML

My first encounter with web design was whilst I worked at Sizma Plc back in the UK. We had some server space from our ISP that wasn't being used, so in my quiet moments (which were few and far between) I set about designing a basic website for the company using Microsoft Publisher. Everyone was very impressed with the end result.... except Mark! Whilst he was impressed with the look and content of the site, he (as the perfectionist that he is) was less impressed that I had used a WYSIWYG editor. And he encouraged me to learn how to write in HTML saying that it was easy, "Easy for you" I thought, "but me? I doubt it". He said he knew I could do it and went out and bought me four books. Well I still wasn't convinced and managed to come up with a multitude of reasons for never getting round to actually opening the books! "I don't have the spare time with working, and looking after a house and husband" "I'm too stressed from work, to study in the evening" When it comes to finding an excuse not to study then I am the master! and consequently I never "got round" to starting this adventure in learning!
