HTML by hand simply means coding HTML without the aid of HTML software or as they're sometimes called, WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) web editors. Dreamweaver and Frontpage are two popular WYSIWYG web editor/ website software packages. 

The good thing: they are versatile and powerful.

The bad thing: they are versatile and powerful!

I use these tools but I understand what the underlying code is doing. As you make changes, these editors don't fully erase all the code they create. These odd bits of left over code can kill your web pages. If you don't know HTML, and afterall that is the reason you bought one of these programs in the first place, then you don't know where to look to fix the problem. I do.

Other web development tools: javascript, vbscript, asp and SQL.
