HTML from a Novice Perspective.

My initial thoughts about HTML were about how simple it appeared, but how messy it could very easily become. It’s simple, in the way that whenever you want to add an element, all you have to do is make sure it's contained within the appropriate tag. If you want an element inside another element, then that element has to be within the tags of the second element. Easy to understand, absolutely, but it is devastatingly ugly to look at after the sixth nested div tag. My only solace is that you can at least make it look nicer by adding classes and ids, so all your styling can be done on your style sheet.

Not included in the picture, is the

tag containing it, as well as the and tags. I feel like its a bit cluttered.
