The Internet was designed specifically to work using HTML so other useful languages that interface well with HTML were added along the way as shortcuts and for doing special things quicker and easier. Though I have only learned HTML I still can somewhat program as long as I'm careful where I'm venturing. The problem for me becomes when other add-ons are there that I don't recognize what I'm really dealing with or operating systems like here at blogger.com are propriety in various ways that I can't easily navigate. When this happens often I'm stumped. So, instead of being able to do what I wanted to in about 1/2 hour or hour at most I wound up having to spend 4 hours experimenting with templates that would work in this specific environment of software I'm working within which may or may not be specifically what I learned as HTML from 1995 when I first downloaded a Yahoo page and then saved it to Windows 95 where you were allowed then to save and work on pages 100s of times more easily than now. Now, what I did then appears to either be no longer available or more hidden from the public than before.
Each newer operating system is created to bamboozle users and to manipulate them in more and more devious ways. I know this sounds cynical but remember the internet is mostly about money and who has it and who wants more of it. So, the Internet tends to be very proprietary and if you don't see this you soon become just another victim of the internet.
And also remember I have been studying computer programming and computer hardware since 1966 in college. So, I speak from experience about what I'm saying of 54 years so far in computers and computer programming and Internet when it started in the 1980s and after.
