the text

"This is my webpage: John Bullas (age 39)"

I would have this as a 7(?) liner conversion to HTML.......

.. automatic is fine so long as you don't care what is going on ;)

"swans and legs thrashing" seem fine to me...
give the 12 year old his MP'd code back and ask him to change some
of its functionality (using Notepad of course) :)

saving to HTML via word thinks this is an OK alternative.. God 
Almighty!  (below).
