Yes, as a software designer... the interface that is most efficient usually has a higher learning curve.
Often it can be good to have an “intutive” interface to make the sale, and then an efficient interface for folks who know what they are doing.

If that is what we want....
One promising thing about you: You stuck around and participated in the thread you started.

There used to be a thread called, “HTML Bootcamp” that would pop up from time to time. Basic HTML commands were posted to encourage intimidated lurkers to register and post. I’ll do a search to see if one’s been done lately...

I’ve left comments on other threads in case anyone wants to see me being more civil that I’ve been here. But hey - they started it! jk
I stick everything I run across "that I think you ought to be thinking about" here:
Click the picture, goto the last, and scroll back for the latest in The Dark Underbelly...
Gee Wiz its nice to find someone willing to help the new guy — thanks!

We? Have you donated?

Some of the best material and amusement are peoples about page.
Some are still blank since 1998 or so, but they are the old timers.
