Devlog #5

I am still working on the HTML portion, but I am nearing completion. I think that the next devlog that I post will be the last one of HTML, and after that I will start to move onto CSS. Speaking of CSS, I am still deciding whether I want to experiment with JS for this project. I have no experience in JS, so it might be like a later thing I want to add after I finish the initial draft of the project. I think it will make it look super smooth with cool animations, but I am still deciding, I think the amount of time I will spend in CSS will decide whether I want to use JS or not.

Current Progress

I have now added some cards to the Awards section. This one did not take too long because I was able to figure out the tags quite easily because by now I have experimented a lot with them.

One thing I learned how to do was to create lists in HTML. It was quite simple. Once you figure out the tags then it is pretty easy. I have a lot of awards that are like issued from a single organization and then some standalone ones, so I used the <ul> tag to create an unordered list and the <li> to add each item to my list. Overall I am planning to make like a card mosaic. Because they are all going to be like different sizes, so they will look kind of like a Pinterest post with like broken blocks, but fit nicely together. I think that will be the simplest way to style it in CSS right now, so I am going with that. Overall, this did not take as long as I expected. I actually already had a document ready, so many were just copied from there.

Next Steps

I have already filled out the Contact section. I just linked my email and added a little description. I don’t have a lot of forms of contact , so I am going to stick to just email. Now I am going to work on adding my skills, because that is in the about me section. I am not going to actually write it but instead add like little logos for each like skill so that is the next step. I am planning to separate them by like software, and hardware, and like other maybe, but I am going to work on that next. Again I hope that the next devlog will be the last for HTML before I begin CSS.
