Making the Web Faster

When I first started using Adobe DreamWeaver for developing websites, the first thing I did was change my view to Code View. I instantly pick Code View since I like to work in HTML more than dragging and dropping things, as you would using Designer View. I never really thought about it too much, but there really is a difference between a designer and a coder.

I’m a coder…

I spend more time cleaning up my code than anything else. I want it to be easy to read so I can track down issues, like when a WordPress plug-in is updated and ruins my HTML or CSS validation. One of the benefits to writing web pages and blog posts using code, IMO, is that you know exactly what is going on.

With this knowledge, you can help Google make the web faster!
