Just last week, a fellow writer asked my advice on whether she should take a class to learn HTML, if that would make her more marketable. Myself, I haven’t ever taken a class, but have picked up some basic HTML coding as necessary. Now though, I think there may not be a real need for making text changes or updates.

I just learned about Texty, which calls itself Simple Content Management and Syndication. Basically, using Texty, all you need to do is create a page using its basic WYSIWYG editor, which looks practically the same as the one I am using right now to create this post with Wordpress’ WYSIWYG. Add graphics, change fonts, etc, make it look how you need it to. Then, Texty creates a snippet of code you place into your page’s source code. That’s it - the page you get is the page you wrote in Texty. Plus, anytime you want to change the text, just edit it at Texty and it automatically updates the page.

This has to be one of the most basic, handy and incredibly useful Web 2.0 ideas I have seen lately. I, for one, intend to use it often.
