I bet you've heard of Dreamweaver spoken often when discussing html editors. 

This type of editor is called a WYSIWYG editor or "what you see is what you get". You don't need to hand code your page, instead just place your paragraphs, headings and pictures where you would like them on a page and publish up to your web hosting server.

Sounds pretty easy, huh? Well, some are and some aren't. Each and every year that goes by the HTML editors become more and more intuitive and web design becomes easier.

It's still, in my opinion, useful to know how to hard code so that you can fix things that just won't/can't be fixed in an HTML editor.
