So, what isHTML?
H-T-M-L are initials that stand for Hyper Text Markup Language. This is what the acronym represents:
- Hypertext is the text displayed on your computer. Hypertext is the fundamental concept defining the structure of the Web. "Text" stands for the letters that will make up your content.
- Markup is what you will do to create "html". You will write in plain English and then mark up what you wrote.
- Language represents that its a language just like any other languages such as french or Spanish, though this one is computer speak; and we use English to write it.

Hi Samantha, as you mention in your training, which will help people think seriously about HTML, it gives much more flexibility in developing their sites rather than relying on WYSIWIG.
Apart from being able to change fonts, font sizes, color, etc, without having to use a plugin, you can change line height, margins, padding, and headings, among others. Once the HTML basics have been mastered it's also worth learning some CSS basics, as this will give conformity to the posts and pages throughout the site without the need to keep inserting HTML coding, but that's another story.
