IMO, everyone should know the basics of hand coding HTML.  There are some
things that the html editors can't or won't do.  And they can mess up your
code sometimes, and you need to be able to go in there manually and fix it.
 Without a basic understanding of html, that wouldn't be possible.

Good for you!  I'm trying to make the same change at 47!

I haven't taken that one, but I would imagine it is.

I just completed the Paint Shop Pro class and loved it!  I'm hoping to be
able to sign up for the JavaScript class that starts next month.
