You Can't Get Away From the Code

You know that song "We Built This City on Rock and Roll"? Well, what if I told you that "we built this website on HTML"? It's the same principle: that no matter what, you should not forget the basic tools that you need to create something great. Those who know the code, and thus how websites are constructed, will be able to be more flexible when creating their website designs. Flexibility in computing skills is integral because computers are often unpredictable; if for some reason there is a malfunction or a complicating factor in an HTML editor, a programmer must have another way of delivering the finished product. HTML code provides a reliable way to fix and improve even the newest website creator programs, programs that will always require fine tuning so that they can function optimally. For this, it is far easier to replace segments of code manually than to scrap an entire web page because of compatibility issues or errors. Think of it as parachuting out of an airplane: you would not go without a reserve parachute would you? Well guess what -- HTML code is that reserve! It is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

I really enjoyed your web-page! I'd call it "professional" and I think it would be a great site for prospectives!

Great website, Andrew. You effectively communicated your experiences as a Trinity student by including picutres of your favorite locations on campus. Your navigation bar was also impressive as it allowed users to easily navigate through your site.
