Here’s an article about hand coding (X)HTML.
Every artist has a story behind their painting. They can tell you that every stroke has a purpose. Nothing is ever done just for the sake of doing it. When you hand code your pages every item you add is added for a purpose. You take a greater sense in what you are doing and have a greater understanding of your own pages. Your work should be your own and if you do not understand it then it never becomes your own.
Right on, dude.
Geez, where are all the bun bun pictures?!?!?!?!?
