I am not kidding.

I had the good luck to be sat down and shown how to write HTML early on in the process and it changed my life. Hyperlinks are magic. It would be great to see what little kids (and more adults) did with that knowledge.

Social networking sites and prespun blogging platforms have their uses but overuse of them is dumbing down the net..

Wouldnt that be great? its so easy that there is no reason not to teach everybody HTML.

What are they afraid of, that they might have something important to say?

I think we need to get that message out there.
