Figuring things out, one line of code at a time.
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
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
I think I'm just about at the finishing touches stage on this homepage. I spent today adding some impactful styling changes that I think really cleared up some of the things that were really bugging me about it from a visual perspective. Firstly, I addressed some issues that had popped up in the responsiveness of… Continue reading ✨More✨ Styling
The site is really coming together now. I spent a good bit of today redesigning the logos as the ones I was using really weren't fit for purpose and they didn't align with the palette anyway. Then I started using those, which really lifted the site as there's no more blurriness. From there I moved… Continue reading CSS Animation Fanciness
I've finally "finished" the grid positioning on my new project after chipping away at it bit by bit for what felt like ages! I mixed in a little flexbox for the header and footer, since nesting grids for those areas felt like overkill. I also used it for the banner, given that I wanted it… Continue reading Grasping Grid
I left the reinstating fixed positioning on my header for today because just at a glance I could tell that it was going to need some special attention, not just to fit in with the new flexbox positioning in the rest of the page but also because I was using a float on the logo… Continue reading Finessing the Flex(box)
One of the most challenging things about my coding journey has been balancing it with everything else I have to do. If I had my way, I'd spend all of my time coding and writing, but the reality is that I'm a single mom navigating a pandemic and launching a consultancy. While that last part… Continue reading Day ???: Flexbox
I had to take a little break to put together a big proposal on the fly, but I've been dying to get back to my CSS wrapup. Today I finally got to look at positioning again and I decided to create a fixed header for my form. I used relative positioning to push the container… Continue reading Day 15: Back to Business
Did a little more reading in HTML & CSS: Design and Build Websites" today, but I also wanted to add the new images to the submit page for this project. I intended to do it yesterday, but I needed to restructure the page so that the existing CSS styling rules would apply properly to this… Continue reading Day 13: Pretty Pics
I won't lie, I dreaded the responsive design/media query portion of my review plans because I recall being somewhat confused about it the first time around, but I had so much fun with it this time! It DEFINITELY helps to be applying it to a project as I review (which is what I should've done… Continue reading Day 11: Responsive Design
