My own site!

I made my own, personal website. It started on 7.24.2026, when Jenin hosted a Hackatime + Personal Site Workshop. He walked me and everyone else in the workshop through the basics of making a website and we even built our own website! He told everyone to ship it that day but I decided not to, because I had an issue of the image not loading, and I just wanted to improve the website, to make it better. The next day I took all the knowledge I had and started building the website. I firstly changed the theme from orange and white to black and white to make the website look professional. Then, I fixed the issue of the image not loading by changing the scr method I used to src, which took me a long time to figure out, but was honestly a funny reason for the bug. Further, I extended the navigation bar, added a shadow to the image, changed the website's main font to Georgia, added an answer for the question 'why should you join Hack Club', which I made, added a text box with a shadow to it, and a button which has a cool lift up animation when you hover over it, for which I have to credit another website called 'https://www.w3schools.com/css/'. Honestly, the most challenging part of building the whole thing was the button. I did use a website I already gave credit to for making the button, but it wasn't as simple as just pasting in code. After I, again, pasted the code, I tried to load the button to my main html file, but it just would work. I tried using a button method and putting a class="button" into it, but that did not seem to work. I then figured out to used div (by looking at how I constructed the navigation bar), but the button came out too wide. I tried to fix that by changing the width in the css file I believe, but then it got stuck to the left corner. And after many attempts of getting that button working, I finally gave up and just searched my problem online. And the solution was just writing 3 lines of code, which was about 10 times less than the lines of code I wrote trying to fix the issue myself. Another challenge I faced is making the shadows for the image and text box. Long story short, I basically did the same thing as with the button (try to solve the problem -> break my brain -> give up -> search up the solution -> be shocked of writing just a couple of lines of code), I additionally want to give credit to the same website I mentioned earlier for providing the methods needed to make the shadow. Interestingly, after I fixed the two issues, I began being able to fix other problems I had on the website myself, which made me just a little bit proud of myself. Speaking of being proud, I feel very, I mean extremely proud when I open the website and look at it. I just can't believe I made that. In addition to feeling proud, I should mention that the hyperlinks named 'Call', 'Text', and 'Message' Hack Club do not work on desktops. I made those buttons throughout the workshop with Jenin, and he said that these buttons will function only on phones.
