The reason HTML is used to create websites is that, a website can't be created using Word, it's a bit more complex than that. With HTML you can upload pictures, draw tables, write lists and lots of crazy things. It's also a way of communicating to the computer telling the system what to do.
I think HTML, in my opinion, is one of the best options if you're making a digital portfolio. This is because you can control what you want to do: determine positions of content, color, font, the general look of the website, things you can't do on blogger. Also, when compared to a normal blog an HTML website looks more professional than an ordinary blog. It's also fun, i like love working with HTML.
I like my very first website, I like the colors I used, the color combinations, the placement of the content, the general look of the two pages looked pretty good to me. I have my pictures and did basically what was required. I felt that I could improve the picture I used on my first page, I used a picture of a dolphin, i love dolphins but I still felt a picture of me would have been better. I wanted to change the colours of my hyperlinks but for some reason, i didn't. I feel that one thing that I would really like to work on next time is using multicolors, different fonts and different styles, like transitions. One thing that I thought I did well was color combinations. Overall, I think I did pretty good but I still feel that there's always room for improvement.
