With the new software available, both in the form of software and cloud-ware, many designing their WordPress site have never found the need to learn HTML code. Even if you are just using the default WordPress editor, the visual interface allows authors to do all basic functions. While this is convenient, every web developer needs to know enough HTML code to get around. Being able to make changes in HTML is extremely powerful, and a huge time saver in situations where the graphical user interface (GUI) just won’t take you where you want to go.
When reviewing your pages, you will invariably come across something which needs to be changed. It may need to be bolded, italicized, underlined or a link added. If so, modifying the HTML can be far quicker than going all the way back to your visual editor. Luckily, these are also the easiest to modify. To make a word bold, just add in front of the word and on the other side. For italics and underlining the code is and respectively. To add a link, the command refers to “an html reference at…” like so: . To make this open up in a new window, add “target=”_blank” to the end of the code before the closing bracket (>).
That’s the easy stuff. To change sizes, indents, and so on, you will probably still want to use your visual editor. It’s easy to accidentally miss one letter or bracket and end up with a broken page, especially with how complex most HTML is these days. You should still know, however, how to modify that code for quick changes. For example, if you want to increase or test an increase in size, check the code at the beginning of your paragraphs. You can quickly modify the size by changing the font size within that code, or change the font itself by typing in the name of one you would like to see. Once you get the hang of it it can save a lot of time by making quick ad-hoc changes in HTML instead of importing and exporting entire pages.
Every up and coming web developer should own a copy of HTML/XML for Dummies, or a similar title. This will give you the tools you need to be a power-user. Modifying and writing HTML code after a while becomes natural, and it is great to be able to see an error on a page and think “Oh, there must be a missing break there.” Plus, learning code is fun, like learning a language written in math and logic. It’s written very intuitively, so anyone can do it.

YOU FIND ME ENSCONCED in the fabulous Buckhead, Atlanta Intercontinental Hotel, preparing to unleash An Event Apart Atlanta 2011, three days of design, code, and content strategy for people who make websites. Eric Meyer and I co-founded our traveling web conference in December, 2005; in 2006 we chose Atlanta for our second event, and it was the worst show we’ve ever done. We hosted at Turner Field, not realizing that half the audience would be forced to crane their necks around pillars if they wanted to see our speakers or the screen on which slides were projected.
Also not realizing that Turner Field’s promised contractual ability to deliver Wi-Fi was more theoretical than factual: the venue’s A/V guy spent the entire show trying to get an internet connection going. You could watch audience members twitchily check their laptops for email every fourteen seconds, then make the “no internet” face that is not unlike the face addicts make when the crack dealer is late, then check their laptops again.
The food was good, our speakers (including local hero Todd Dominey) had wise lessons to impart, and most attendees had a pretty good time, but Eric and I still shudder to remember everything that went wrong with that gig.
Not to jinx anything, but times have changed. We are now a major three-day event, thanks to a kick-ass staff and the wonderful community that has made this show its home. We thank you from the bottoms of our big grateful hearts.
I will see several hundred of you for the next three days. Those not attending may follow along:
