CSS v HTML

It works, so we don't need no stinking improvements.
HELLO

Here's the HTML I 've used for 10 years

<center><i>HELLO</center></i>

Here's the crap I have to use, or at least be conversant with,  when I'm forced to use CSS code.

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">HELLO</span></div>

HELLO

If this is progress, then you can blow me.

Inasmuch as human beings are visually oriented creatures, a more robust text and graphics formatting method was needed in the early days of the rapidly expanding Internet. In order to address this problem, the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) sanctioned the use of HTML. While it functionally solved the problem, HTML tags were written in stone; a more flexible solution was not possible because the technology on the telecommunications side could not support it. Now, propelled by the capitalist profit motive, and with the introduction of more powerful computers and faster networks, a total rewrite of the once monolithic paradigm of HTML is necessarily here. Certainly, the days of letting your nine year old do your corporate web page are long past.
Get ready to deal with XHTML, CSS, DOM, XML etc in the creation of RIA (Rich Internet Applications), using IDEs such as LASLO, FLEX2 and Microsoft’s WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation). New coding languages such as ActionScript3, Ajax, C# and others are here, with more on the horizon.
The days of just having fun making web sites with a copy of “HTML for Dummies” at your side are gone along with the crystal set and the 5 dollar pair of tennis shoes.

LOL wish we could Rodger. It’s kinda like that old toothpaste out of the tube thing.
Sorry for the dissertation but I couldn't resist the temptation to sound like a nerd.

As a total greenhorn when it comes to computer,when I learn some little NEW thing,I only become more aware of what a vast pool of ignorance I am in this field.Oh well,I just want to have fun with it and never planned on a career with it's use....What things 'electronic' sometimes remind me of is this.For a long time the cable company has preached digital tv for waaaay better picture and I heard the horror stories about the prices of the new tv's.Here's how I felt about it.I wish they would stick the money into programming.I don't have any problem with the picture,but I do with the fact that I have a hundred goddamned channels and MOST of the time,nothing to watch.I don't see that horseshit as progress.I know it's apples and oranges but all of the 'progress' pisses me off.I LIKED the 8 track....OK.I'm over it.I'll sleep ok tonight.LOL

HTML still works just fine.

I edit webpages with either notepad.exe, or vi.

The style sheet fags can just fuck off.

My page's code can fit on a single floppy, and runs fast. Their style and object oriented crap take forever to load.

They talk about how advanced their tools are at setting up webpages ... but they don't like to talk about how bloody slow the stuff they produce is.

Just like C++ programmers suddenly wanting to be elsewhere when ansi-C dinosaurs and assembly language programmers start talking about performance.

Remember, Rodger, just because these lazy idiots use this crap, does not mean that you have to.

If I continue to use Blogger, it will be shoved down my throat. (I know, but Blogger is like a comforatble shoe. My USA site, which is all CSS, makes my head hurt).

At one point - and lord I wish I could go back to it - it wasn't good enough to go from here to there. I had to do it in a Corvette. Now, all I want is my Dodge Caravan to make it without crapping out. That's an analogy.
