Step 1: Make it Lame

Being new to website making I did a Google search for Basic HTML, you know, to make my website Very Nice. I do appreciate the fact that people take the time to put together these, and really appreciate the fact that some people aren't jackmules and give this info for free. What I do not appreciate is they teach all the poo that makes a bad website right away. First they teach Underline.... I bet you moved your mouse to see what was linked... and that is EXACTLY why not to teach that first! Next is bold and italics. So, why exactly, have these, to put emphasis on a word? Why not just Underline it? Or change the color of every letter to make it really emhisized. This marquees text hard to read also. Why, in the name of all that is good and right, does strikeoul make it into these basic tutorials!? Do you not get to use the delete key in HTML?
