Comments on: What’s Next? Finding the Fun in HTML https://digitalwriting.site/2026/03/17/whats-next/ Experiments in Digital Content Thu, 07 May 2026 18:57:38 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: goosefeet22 https://digitalwriting.site/2026/03/17/whats-next/#comment-767 Thu, 30 Apr 2026 03:34:05 +0000 https://digitalwriting.site/?p=2053#comment-767 I really like your perspective on HTML. Learning it has been very freeing, in my opinion, because of a lot of the things you mention. Being able to not only see the back end of websites and digital creation, but interact with it and create your own is really awesome. I also agree that the videos were really great. I liked having the ability to follow along in CodePen and see the outcome of the code I put in. I was also amazed at how much HTML affects what we use online. It really is the foundation to everything digital. I think having accessibility rules creates a really great foundation for allowing everyone to be online and in the digital world! Personally, it does feel a little bit overwhelming to know just how much goes into making a website, but having a basic understanding of the way the sausage gets made, actually makes me appreciate the sausage more.

Honestly, coding makes me nervous. Even with websites like W3Schools that literally help in every way possible, I still feel like it is another language (it basically is). I know practice makes perfect, and if I used Visual Studio Code more and watched her lessons more, it would definitely click. I am glad there are lessons out there and websites to help assist though. I agree that behind the scenes of each website is interesting, and I believe that the people who have the time and patience to make them are extremely talented.

I never realized how innocuous markup languages could be. I think I came in to this HTML journey thinking that this would be some complicated coding process. Instead, I thought “This is surprisingly easy….” Tedious, yes. But I’ve already been familiarized with the process through something so simple as writing on AO3. When it comes to the crux of that “What’s next?” question, I think (for me at least) the answer is to go further. Discover more. Now that we’ve laid the foundation, we can start to push boundaries.
