More computer jargon...

Here's something very confusing to me. Why on earth have they changed HTML so much?? The old HTML still works, and is far easier to understand/read/manipulate and is succient.

Here's what a line of code looks like as per Netscape's Composer:

[small][span style="font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-style: italic;"] text here [/span][/small]

Here's the exact same thing written the old fashioned way:

[font face="helvetica,arial,sans-serif" size=1][i] text here [/i][/font]

Which is better? Maybe I'm reluctant to change, but I think the "old fashioned way" looks much better, and is far easier to read. Think about when you have a page FULL of this shit... less is more! Plus, there's the problem of compatibility. What one browser thinks is the best thing since sliced bread, another browser won't touch with a 10 foot pole! But the old way is compatible on all (or most) browsers.

There's my rant for the day. :P
