Devlog #4

I have filled in some more sections of my webpage. I am still at the HTML portion. Right now the webpage looks like really bad when I view, and it’s tempting for me to move right to CSS to begin styling, but I think it will be easier for me in the long run if I finish all of the HTML now, at least all of the sections. Of course, if I move onto CSS, it won’t mean that I’m completely done with HTML, I will always be adding more stuff and I find ways to improve my website.

Current Progress

So before I had filled out the Projects section. I was working with GitHub a lot, uploading my projects so I could link them. I also had to use the Github desktop app to upload some files. Because I had opened the website repository in my VSCode desktop app, I think that something got mixed up, and the file didn’t save properly, so then my whole projects section got deleted. I had to spend some time filling that in again, though it wasn’t too hard the second time because the live preview in the browser still had the text in it, and I had already created all of the links again. Then I made sure that my files would autosave, and that the repository was properly linked. After I pushed the commits to Github to save it there, and I will do the same after posting this devlog.

After that I began to fill in the Experience section, and that was mainly the majority of this time block. Again, I had to like go back and kinda figure out the dates of everything. I am thinking like a timeline style for this one, and that I will have like a little card for each thing. The plan is to make a scrolling website, so that each card will like appear as you scroll down. I have got a good solid like 6 cards of stuff, so for now I am done with that section. I learned more about like div and section tags during this. I also learned the effect of applying classes to text, as it seperates it from other text when styling it in CSS. I applied it to the date text in the experience sections, so that the time frame will be like a little substitle, different from the actual text in the card.

Next Steps

I am probably done for today. Next, I will start to work on the awards sections. A challenge will be to organize those sections because like I have many awards from a specific section but then some are just standalone, so I still a have to figure out how to organize the sections in HTML and how to apply the section and div tags. However, I don’t think I will use the section tag, as that may only be for sections that will be in the navbar. But organizing the awards using div and applying different classes will be tricky and hard to keep organizing. i want to make sure that I continue and keep my code nice and clean so that CSS styling is easy.
