Did you think the information in these articles was easy to understand? I thought some of it was a little confusing because I'm not very famliar with HTML.

I absolutely thought this week's readings were hard to understand. Everything just seemed to go right over my head. And I think it's because I only have a VERY basic understanding of HTML.
