My own site!

I finished up with my website by adding a few more password/username requirements for signing up. I thought about creating more, but frankly I don’t know what else to add or what else I want to add.

I did not do too much today; my time was spent creating some requirements for creating an account (password/username length, allowed characters, etc.). It took me way too long to figure out how to check the strings for non-alphabet and non-number characters, and I may have given up on trying to allow non-English letters… The code stopped working when I tried, and I was too tired to figure out why (though it probably would have only required a simple fix).

Greetings! Here is what I have been working on:

• creating a tooltip for the donate button
  -rewriting/finishing my bio
• debugging my paywall (you could scroll under it :( )
• some minor css/appearance shenanigans
  I am currently in the midst of creating password/username requirements when you sign up.

What I did:

• fixed the ads (for now) - they kept having a bunch of warnings in the console because some of my variables were undefined & then they kept going in the main text instead of pop ups
• added a menu/home bar at top - view more high quality titles! + donate button (opportunity for another annoying pop up!!)
  Sadly, most of my time was spent debugging and failing at debugging.

What I did:

• redesigned my website - new font, layout, etc! I am very proud because I made the image get scrolled over when the user scrolls on the page (hopefully you know what I mean)
• I am in the progress of making new ads that pop up on the site

The majority of these 4 hours were spent fiddling around with javascript and css because I don’t know what I’m doing.
Added:

• header bg - took an egregious amount of time because I didn’t know how to make the color extend from edge to edge
• scroll issue - my header bg made it so you can move left/right, which I don’t want
  Hopefully this won’t matter though, because I think I’m going to scrap my current design and try to make the website look less ugly.
• ads which appear - currently I am struggling with event listeners, so you can’t close them yet. :(

Unfortunately a lot of my time spent on this project (6 hrs) wasn’t tracked, but I am in the midst of creating my “about me” website. I was a bit bored by just making a generic one, as I assumed it would essentially just be css and therefore look quite bad because my skills are…lacking.
As a result, I decided to make a paywall. If you want to read my bio you have to bypass it. So far, the paywall is pretty basic; you just have to sign up to get past it. But I am proud because I learned about some new things (local storage, how much I hate css)!!
I am hopefully going to make my website more annoying, though, as it’s supposed to emulate a spammy one.
