Annnnd we're back! After over 3 weeks, my htmlignoramus.com domain — and my freakin' email! — are finally back up and running. Thanks (for nothing) to Domain Registry of Canada and MyHosting for the colossal gong show / epic battle of “it's not our fault, there's nothing we can do about it, contact [the other company] and complain to them”. The winner? Nobody: my site goes down when the domain expires, on October 12th, a full 2 weeks after I begin trying to go through the domain transfer process. MyHosting loses a customer they had had for 10 years, and DROC loses any and all future business from me and anyone who will listen to me! Welcome, <html> ignoramus!Now, you might think that a website with a name like htmlignoramus.com would immediately start off with attitude and insults, and you might be right to think that. I certainly thought about it, believe me, but I figure there will be plenty of time — and other pages — for that. Instead I thought I’d open with a definition:
Forget, for a moment, the definition of ignoramus that you are almost certainly more familiar with, and re-read the true definition of the word: we do not know. So, if you are indeed an HTML ignoramus, then you simply do not know much about HTML. Well, there's no shame in that, right? The truth of the matter is that when it comes to the HyperText Markup Language, most people — even many who have been making web pages for years — are largely ignorant when it comes to HTML, what it can and can't (and shouldn't) do, how to get started, what to do, what not to do, etc. So what's an HTML ignoramus to do, you ask? Well, you'll just have to wait and see... In the meantime, visit me elsewhere:
