Figuring things out, one line of code at a time.
November was a VERY heavy month workwise and schoolwise, so I had to take yet another break, but as things eased up in the last week, I got to spend a little time working on the rotation of the cakes and I've finally nailed down their movements! In a clockwise direction, that is. I was… Continue reading Cake Coordination
Spent a couple hours working on the slider movements for the menu page header. It was fairly simple to create th enecessary animations in CSS: Perfect. The tricky part is the Javascript. I actually wrote the code to handle the first cake's movements with an if/else statement and an onclick event handler, but the issue… Continue reading The Tough Stuff
The headers and banner are now complete except for the 'small' matter of the rotating slider. I spent today's session adjusting the cake placement and writing the slide-in effects. These were pretty simple to do given that I'd built out similar effects for the headers already. I love how it came out: Ta-da! Next I… Continue reading Smoooooth Sliding
That headline is a whole travesty 😂, but dammit, I earned it. I finally figured out how to get both headers to slide down without breaking the scroll movement! As I suspected, it had something to do with the divs and how I was treating them. Specifically, I needed to treat with the header as… Continue reading Getting a-head(er)
Heavy deadlines kept me away for a couple of weeks, but there's no way I wasn't coming back to this project as soon as I came up for air. Today, I put some work into the new menu page, mostly into the new secondary header and the banner. I had to add two divs in… Continue reading Back At It
I've been super busy (too busy to post updates), but I've been grabbing time to review and make changes to my site as often as possible. I ended up liking the CakeMonster footer enough to add it to the portfolio site (it caused some responsiveness bugs because their layouts are different, but I sorted them).… Continue reading Jumping into Javascript
And just like that, the homepage layout and CSS styling are complete! This, despite a blackout this evening, but I was about done anyway, just some placements to finalise in the footer. Speaking of the footer, I plan to use this layout and styling for the portfolio site I was working on previously. Besides the… Continue reading Ta-da!
I suppose I should thank my daughter for the fact that I got to spend a good portion of today's session hunting for delicious images of cake. (I can also thank her for the birthday cake sitting in my refrigerator, which comes in handy after spending the best part of an hour trolling free stock… Continue reading It’s the Little Things
So I had to take a little break to settle my daughter into the first week at a brand-new school and kick-off a hefty freelance writing project, but I've been DYING to get back to it so I could jump into JavaScript review. I'd already promised my daughter that my next website would be about… Continue reading New Project, Who Dis?
Once I finished the news page, I spent the rest of this week working on the site's portfolio page and deciding on a layout for the individual project pages. For the portfolio page, I originally used a basic grid layout, but given that the images vary depending on the genre (playbills and film screenshots of… Continue reading Almost There
