HTML code... Why Bother?

With sophisticated web-design software such as Expression Web or Kompozer easily accessible, it may seem like knowing HTML code is an outdated skill. However, it can actually be pretty useful. Firstly, if you're having a problem with your webpage, going to the HTML source code can make diagnosing the problem easier. Secondly, if you see an aspect of another person's website you like, you can right click anywhere on the page, choose "view source," copy the section of code pertaining to the aspect you like, make a few changes, paste it into the HTML code of your webpage, and voila, you've added that aspect to your page.
