Here's a screenshot of my (Mac) TextEdit attempt:
And this is my (Windows) Notepad version:
Exactly the same text, exactly the same link, exactly the same! However, when I tried to open the link from TextEdit, my computer would tell me that the URL could not be found. Multiple attempts later, there was no change. So I copied and pasted a link that Huan gave me, and that worked, but there was no reason for it to. I still wanted to be able to do it myself, so I used myDesktop, opened a Windows application, and went through the process again, with the right result this time. There has to be something wrong with TextEdit, because I didn't do anything differently, just used a different application. So from now on I'll be using Windows for any HTMLing that I do in class.
Other than this frustration, I think I'll be okay at HTML. It seems to be reasonably straightforward, and has a lot of rules, so as long as I follow them I should be okay. I can always give myself a break and edit a Trove page when I get too annoyed with it.
