Another lie from the deadbeat.


Look, Harry thinks he knows something!


He should let us know when he can sit down at a text editor and come
out
with a fully functional webpage like my lady does...

I don't know why anyone would be creating a webpage in HTML anymore.
There are so many webpage publishing programs available that make it
all so easy and the code is transparent to the user.

Back in the mid 90's when I created the original "Boats of Rec.Boats"
website, I did it all in HTML because website publishing programs
didn't exist that I knew of. I had no formal training in HTML and at
first didn't have a clue how to do it. I would go to various
existing websites and look at the "page source" that displayed the
website in HTML. I'd see how the programmers had done certain things
and I'd "borrow" the code to create the website. That's back when I
had interest in that sort of thing and had the patience to go through
it all, line by line. I ended up with a huge spreadsheet of code for
each of the pages and the images of boats that people sent in. After
a few years it got to be too much for me to maintain up to date
because I became busy with work related activities and someone was
kind enough to take it over. The original "Boats of Rec.Boats"
logo was designed by the receptionist at my company at the time.

The website still exists but does not include all the original people
and pages it once had. It's about half the size it once was and may
be viewed he
