Humm, not to throw water on this, but my business is website hosting, design, and administration for over 65 websites on my own leased server, and 90% of this is for Ranches, Farms, hunting and recreational property for Brokers. Been doing this for the last 10 years. No sitebuilders, Frontpage, dreamweaver or WYSIWYG here, all HTML/PHP with database.
I can tie this altogether with them in a heart beat. Depends on the clients dollars? I have a total of 1 million hits a week on my sites total.
If my neighbor decides to do it alone, and his wife is my bookkeeper, like how lucky can you get?? :D

HTML is fun. :wink: Sitebuilders are cheating.

I call them wannabe webmasters. :lol:

I have kids coming to me to learn, but as soon as they find out they can get a course in WebPage design, USING Frontpage or Dreamweaver, there gone to the point and click programs. Jezzzz....

If I can learn it at 69, you would think a younger person would want to learn?

Well, you get a lot more hits than I do.

I get around 160 to 200 a day.

I have the php... but I don't use it.

Well, here's the thing. I have this stupid brain damage.

For instance, I got a neat little oil filled radiator that would turn on and off by itself in relation to settings... but I could not set it.

I can't follow directions anymore when they aren't absolutely linear. If someone tells me to do one thing and then another, I'm fine. I can do it. But when I had to coordinate directions from three different boxes... it was hopeless.

I think this problem of mine is why when the one builder guy kept telling me, day after day, that the boards would all do down really quickly, I believed him... though none were actually going down. On the third day, after I paid him $476 for laying 7 boards... I began to see the bigger picture.

I used to think really quickly, and completely.

Okay, so I tried the html programs... and I belonged to some webmaster forums. But I can't do it. I could, I suppose, if I wanted to devote several months to it... but there are other things I'd rather do with that time.

My point is that anyone can use SiteBuilder, and for some people it would be the difference between being able to do a site, and not.

While I was sick I couldn't have afforded to have anyone do a site for me. I wasn't paying my mortgage, and I was living on $11 a week, not counting my web hosting.

Some people just pick up on it easier than others. I think it takes an analytical mind to really "get" coding. I taught myself by reverse-engineering other websites.

But, then again, I taught myself how to use and program in Excel in about 2 hours, without a manual. :wink: That led to me getting a job at a large bank, handling all the transactions of all their branches. That stuff has always come fairly easy for me.

But I must be getting old, because some of the new technology coming out scares me. I still have no idea what Bluetooth is. :lol:

Wow, I am very impressed. VERY.

When I got my first job out of university, at the Telephone Company in Green Bay, they gave us a vocabulary test, and I got a higher amount right than anyone ever had before.

When I ended up hating how I had to govern the operators, but could take two hour lunches myself, on the company, they happened to ask me one day if I liked my job, and I said, no, I hated it. Well, they fired me and gave me a month's severance pay, on which I moved here to Santa Fe.

After that, I heard from friends who remained, they never hired anyone again who did that well on the test.

My mind was my most favorite part of me. I just loved it.

So when I hear you say that things take you a little longer, I want to tell you to PLEASE get Methylcobalamin if you have ridges on your fingernails, no moons, or any other of the low B12 symptoms. It is just SO important for nerve health. (and our brains)

But the other thing is to learn new things. Studies have shown that people who learn new things have more healthy, active, flexible minds than people who stick with the same things, even if those things are very complicated and take a lot of intelligence to start.

I think Bluetooth is what lets me take my laptop outside. (if my battery weren't sort of worn out.)

Thats a good way to learn HTML, take someone elses page and see how it's done, but make sure it's not done with a sitebulder, then your in a world of hurt Make changes, and what each thing does. Can do that with most any cgi, php, etc. first started made a lot of hair pulling, but stuck with it......
Still have php issues sometimes, put a comma in the wrong place and crash.. :roll:

Your right on there, always learning something new everyday.... But has downside to, all my retired friends say I speak a different language now and hard to carry on a conversion with me???? 8)
