What you get may differ form what you see

From the very first entry of this blog, I started having issues with the formating of itself. I'm using a editor that is embedded in the web, that editor also claims that "what you see is what you get". But in the practice what I get is a lot of empty "span" HTML tags, and similar stuff, for example the paragraphs are done using the HTML tag "div" instead of "p".

¡And I don't like it!

As I know my HTML ancient arts, I would prefer to have more control over what I will be posting, but then again I would like to do not have to think about it when I am writing. So I decided to write my HTML apart in a desktop software. I started using Geany, because it's what I use for web development (when I'm not on Visual Studio), and that's how I wrote my first article.

¡But it's not quite the same!

I have discovered that this blog preserves the new lines that I had in HTML, the result is that I had some lines where I didn't expect them. I may start searching for a software that does my posting with a better formatting.

In the meanwhile, I'll forget about the "span" atrocities, and just keep going on my writing of this blog.

Edit: So far I've fixed the format, I'm only using HTML to write posts, and telling blogger to do not insert new lines. Also always remember to use "p" in my HTML.

The birth of the "HTML" tag

Today we are here not to hold sorrow, but to celebrate the birth of the more ambiguous of all tags! the "HTML" tag!

This is a tag to be set to the articles, not a tag of "HTML"... OK, that may be confusing, what I'm saying is that I will set "HTML" as a tag to all the articles that are related to HTML, makes sense? Good!
