1/15/25: "Captain's log..."
While it may look like I took a lot of steps backwards and dismantled 99% of this webpage, I actually learned a lot while playing around. On top of that, i was able to impliment a lot of things I learned through my code camp lessons! This background color for example makes use of HSL color coding. On top of that it was a deliberate design choice based on very rudimentary color theroy. I also played around a lot with borders, establishing and referencing class elements in the html/css files, and even found a lot of qol options which has made my coding muuuuuch smoother. I would say overall, despite failing in making the landing page I wanted, I was able to show that I understood the things I've learned up untill this point. That's a big win in my book!
1/17/25: "Bailey of all time."
Still chipping away at my lessons on freeCodeCamp. I just finished the fourth lesson in the "Responsive Web Design" course, and now have my first "test" to look forward to. I'm a little daunted but I really do think I can make this work! So far my mix of indipendant work and these lessons has given me a decent understanding of the basics. I've been able to trudge my way along and solve problems on my own so far! For example, I was able to space these two journal entries by including a small margin at the bottom of sections in the CSS file. These lines and dividers themselves are also a result of my newfound knowledge of CSS! I think it looks swanky, especially my little bottom line I have going on beneath the dates. Using HSLA I was able to set the color to match the default color of skyblue, and independantly adjust the alpha to make it more suble of a break.
1/18/25: "Test day"
I spent about an hour or so on the 5th lesson today, which is a much more hands off lesson to make a survay website. It's really tough figuring this stuff out on my own, but it seems doable. I have a lot going on today in terms of irl commitments so I haven't had the time to really crack at it. And if I'm being honest, I was up waaaaay too late last night. I'll try to come back to it when I'm a bit fresher. Maybe I'll fool around with some stuff here and tweak my layout a bit? I think making the inside corners sharper would be a nicer look.
1/22/24 "Busy Bee"
I haven't had too much time to work on my lessons or this site, but I did finish my "test project". For as worried as I felt going into it, I was able to tackle it fairly easily. I had to look up a handfull of elements and the functions of some of the input variables, but I got there! I'm happy that I managed to complete it without being entirely stumped. Feel's quite good! I'll still be a tad busy the rest of this week, but I'll get back on the grind soon hopefully.
