One of the biggest challenges for me thus far has been learning HTML. HTML is and has always been my worst nightmare. I've talked to those programmers and those who live and breathe the HTML language and I've been told the same thing time after time. "HTML is simple, one of the easiest things to learn and it will be your best friend."
Hmmm...With my prior years of experience, I find it hard to believe that HTML and I will be BFF's. EVER.
Learning Shiftcode, the site that I have both Disco Dollars and Ode To Family hosted on, I had to rigorously study and learn how to use the products and how to edit my own sites. I have had computer experience and I have taken some computer classes and so, I cannot imagine how difficult it must be for some to manage their own sites without some guidance or minimal computer knowledge.
The one thing about me is that I am definitely, by far, a hands-on learner. So for someone to try to sit and explain something to me is all fine and dandy. However, let me go through it on my own and let me ask questions along the way. That is the only way I can learn. Now, I'm certainly not saying that Shiftcode's products are that complicated, but it is new so of course it takes time to learn as it does with anything. As the old saying goes, "Practice does make perfect".
HTML is like learning Spanish. HTML is its own language and is what is behind website creation.
Here is a great resource for everything HTML-related:
At this point I am not a pro when it comes to HTML, but I can say, it is not completely foreign to me.
