Web Page Creation

Creating a Web Page is nothing really new to me. But every time I would make one, especially from scratch, and by scratch I mean using a text editor like notepad (or what I use notepad++), my experiences are always different. This particular time, I actually had to dig up a bit of my previous works to get a sense of how some things were laid out again. But before I go a bit into my experience here, I'll talk about how I've come to learn about creating a web page.
So it all started when I was in my Sophomore year in High School and I decided to take a class and it was called "Web Design" and it was there where I learned how to use notepad to pretty much bring a web page to life on the screen. Now as simple and short as this story may seem, I struggled a bit when it came to learning the required tags for an HTML page and where they should or needed to be placed in the text editor. Such tags would include the <style> tag, which can pretty much control how the whole layout of the page will be, the <ul> and <li> tags which allowed you to but things into numbered lists and bullet lists and a couple other tags. I even got to make a website using Adobe Dream Weaver, which is for creating websites. Now a couple years later, during my Senior Year in High School, I took another Web Design class, however this was at Highline Community College, or actually Highline College, since they've recently had that changed. It was here, where I truly went in-depth with the Styles and things like a Wrapper, Sections, and making a menu bar or drop-down menu where you can click on links to go to different web pages. Honestly, it was quite difficult, but when it all came together, it was great.
This time, this experience was fairly easier since I've already had a good amount practice doing this using a text editor, but still was difficult at times especially when I forgot to close tags or put a tag in a spot where it wasn't supposed to be or even using the wrong tag. Nonetheless, making a HTML page in a text editor is still a fun experience whether it is giving you a hard time, and in this case it was a bit since my mind has been a bit foggy in this area a bit, or if you are having a blast creating something that shows up saying that you've created it even if it is not 100% working.
