Is this something strange to you, and you are someone whose job is producing website content, publishing blogs and writing press releases?
If your answer to the above question is an ‘yes’ you must need to learn dirty looking codes, and once you learn them, you will enjoy working with them.
HTML i.e. hypertext, markup language is web scripting language responsible to show your website to the world via www i.e. world wide web.
World is driven by the internet, if you are a blogger and publish your blog via blogspot, tumbler or wordpress, they say you don’t require learning html. It’s true, you don’t require learning html if you publish via a publishing engine like wordpress or similar.

Now-a-days, another bug is also doing the rounds, you don't know a thing, AI will do for you.
Its true that to publish using publishing tools like wordpress coding knowledge is not required but to use your content power you need to know codes or you need hire someone who can do it for you. Often individual bloggers like me cannot afford to buy someone's time. And learning becomes obvious choice.
Many a times, while writing and publishing, it becomes compulsion to do something in html, for example, suppose, you attached picture of a horse in between your content in a bloger page, but in preview mode, its looking horrible, there would be two option only, either to edit image in an image editor or do it inside blogger page in html. Definitely, later is much easier if you know little html.
This is not the case with blogger only, when your profession is of a blogger, a writer, a publisher or like wise, many times a day, you would require working in plain html, simply you can not ignore it. Learning html will give you an edge over your competitors.
I am sure by now, you are little bit convinced upon learning html.
Let me tell you big advantage of html, if you know it, you would require learning CSS further :)
My dear friend, do not scratch your head.
CSS means cascading style sheet, the advantage of CSS is that, suppose you have deployed 100 page in plain html on a web server, now after running your website for a year, you got an advert from wall mart, you would require pasting the advert in all 100 pages throughout, at this point little knowledge of html would be a plus. At the same time if you know CSS, you can put the wall mart advert in a single place and publish it universally for 100 pages, this will save you lots of time and energy. CSS is about making your website pages beautiful which gel well with artistic content.
Conclusion is that if you are a web content writer, must learn html and css for successful writing career. In addition to this, knowledge in javascript will be a plus.
Do not panic, keep writing as usual, find 30 minutes a day to begin some html, and soon you gain momentum, move further to learn css and javascript. Knowledge in these computer languages will be plus throughout your writing journey.
