HTML?

I'd hear of HTML coding a few times here and there but never really understood what it was all about until my Online Journalism class. We have learned how to create our own websites and it's actually pretty cool. Before this class I guess I just thought images and text would appear where you wanted kind of like a Word document but each item, picture, text, everything has a specific code in order for it to show up properly on the web. You can change size, style, add bullets, anything you can do in Word. Right now we are working on our online resume. I think it’s going to be very beneficial to have an online resume because right now more and more is being offered online.
