HTML and CSS are not languages, they are formats.

What happened to learning or expanding your skills? If you know how to build your own dynamic site, then this tutorial isn't written for you. The first complete sentence in TFA: "This tutorial is aimed at intermediate or advanced Web designers looking to make the leap into server-side programming."I realize this thing is old and I'm not going to dig it because I've seen better tutorials with similar aims, but I don't understand questioning why people would want to build their own sites. It's fun, educational, building blocks for more advanced programming - 100 people could give 100 different answers.

I coded my own blog from scratch in notepad about two years back, and I'm glad I did.

I'm happy with wordpress, and if I'm going to do something from scratch, it's going to be something worthwhile, not something people smarter than me are working on every day.

You want to get technical with me? Fine. CSS is a stylesheet format that specifies what style to display an element in. HTML is a markup syntax that tells a user-agent what layout to display the page in. Neither are languages in any sense of the word, because you cannot read them as you would a standard natural language. They are formats, just like all programming languages.

They are both languages.
