Today I realised…

…that I (still) actually quite enjoy coding web pages by hand.

I don’t miss fiddling around with image-based designs and things like that, though, and I don’t have Photoshop on the Mac right now so it was rather nice to just play around getting used to using Espresso and actually doing the html and css myself for the first time in ages. I’ve become so lazy, you see, using code that other people have written to make things pretty, and barely even dipping a finger into it except to change a colour or a text size here and there.

It was actually therapeutic to start with a blank screen and type it all out. I must do this more often.
