I'm always trying to coming up with some compelling reasons to code for my classes. The argument I try to make is that you can save time by making flexible and short code that does amazing things. I'm still only having limited success but maybe one day I'll have hit just the right code that lights a spark....
I did keep it relatively simple until I started to mess with the text...oops. The code tag doesn't seem to work within Blog spot...hmmm
