The HTML disease

I never knew that there was a syndrome by that name! 

As of now, I neither run away from HTML nor do I know it completely. 

hahahahaha! No, it's a made up name. I made it upCaptain Awesome, I could already tell that you have the IT tips by your fingerips. It is us no IT nerds who struggle with it.

Copy paste works, all the time. But see, here is the problem. You miss one inverted comma, and the link is gone, and you are none the wiser. But even hunting for those copy paste codes, and then trying to understand HOW to apply it is a full time job in itself.

HTML is easy. I learnt that when I was in 9th class. 

By the way, I have one question, I've seen people posting pictures/images in forum. How do they do it? HTML?

I am so much used to that I even write my name as HTML instead of HEMAL. or sometimes, HEML.

I use HTML to earn my bread (and butter too) everyday and it is so imbibed in me that its very easy for me to have this syndrome.

Nah! Hemal, you are supposed to have the syndrome when you don't know it.

Right now, I am the only one qualified here to have the disease 

A mad man if he knows he is mad, means he is not mad. I too tried to learn some css coding and what not, and gave up after reading first chapter. rely on copy paste and google mausa for help.

html deficiency is a hidden disease with a lot of stigma attached to it. i can hear in the apartment elevator when i get in as i hear them whisper, he is html deficient, almost as if they were discussing a sexually transmitted disease. i also have a big problem admitting it, and end up spending hours trying to figure out tutorials on how to insert a link in a comment or add a keyword to my header.  in forums like these, the disease worsens, with the HTML shahs and the captain awsomes of the HTML world wondering why one should be unable to figure out stuff that unintelligent processors can. but it is in these forums too, that you will find brotherhood and identification with the countless silent sufferers of this disease, people who cannot see life within quotes, and those too are not quotes really, and for whom everything doesn't have tags.  and it is in these forums too that you will find fellow travellers who will hand-hold you through the a-b-c's or rather, the h-t-m's of html efficiency, so that you can walk tall again.

jokes aside, if you do not need to write letters to your relatives in html, don't break your head, like captain awesome said, look up some basic tutorials to give you a feel for how the syntax works, and then build a basic code library of your own for your most common tasks, and copy and paste as required.  if I can get well, anyone can. of course, now I have a new disease, missing shift key syndrome, so all my html now is cut and paste. exclamation mark.

Guidance free pawa jaye thekhi, but the guarantee lies in their explaination, not in my understanding.

  google my dear friend.... html is very easy :) ..Trust me even you can learn in 7 days .. ;)

jeez, u have gotta be kidding me: http://www.w3schools.com/ learning anything you ever wanted to learn.

chaitanya, thanks for the link, started their classes. First thing i came to know was the full name of disease. Hyper tense mental lascivity. But now this again 5th gen disease html5 came up, then xhm. Kaheen ke naa rahenge jo html 15 attack karega

You guys crack me up!Seriously speaking, we all know that once we start concentrating a bit on anything we REALLY want to learn, we can. Who said we can't? It's the 'instant gratification' syndrome that ails us. I know so many guys people - both boys and girls - go cross eyed over a simple hem requirement in suit pants.....and kids well versend in 'Minecraft' look at graph tables as if they are charts from alien lands....it's all in the mind you see.
