A comparison: building a website in 1994 vs. 2008 by Mark Crotts

 

Building a website in 1994, was no easy matter. The best programs available let you select your codes from a list. Anyone remember Hotdog? That was the first program I tried when writing a website. Basically you could choose tags from a list, then you would add your text. This program was hugely popular! Everybody loved it. It basically was one step up from editing your site in a plain text editor.

I joined Homestead hosting with a trial account the other day ... within minutes I had a site up. Its editor is so easy to use, a complete newbie could get a site up with minimal effort. The hardest part for me was getting the builder program to run on my PC! Once I had that working, it was a walk in the park. I didn't even have to read the tutorials.

I have to say, I really like the way it is now. I'm about to learn Dreamweaver. Maybe I'll write an in depth article on the learning process.
