Learning very quickly that I do not have the skill set to scrounge up a webpage from scratch, for one. Right now I’m using a template from sadgrl.online’s layout builder to fiddle about, but I’m not sure if I’m satisfied with it— I’m going to poke around and look at templates and see what I can come up with.
I am also beating my stylesheet with a mallet. I cannot fathom the concept as well as I’d like, and I have spent the better half of a week arguing with the process of making it work, which it still doesn’t. This, of course, is entirely my fault because I know next to nothing about CSS and even though I’m knee-deep in resources, I’m not a particularly fast learner.
It’s been fantastic, and I do mean that genuinely. Frustrating, of course, but fantastic.
Are you focused on the same things you outlined in your goals, or have you found yourself doing something different?
My main goal was to have something vaguely resembling a website at the end of this, which I am steadily chipping away at. I did not expect to go to war with my stylesheet though— I’ve only done inline CSS in the past and was kind of hoping I could brute force my way through a website without rigging up a stylesheet at all.
It would be awful and tedious to do that for each individual page, though, if my stylesheet has taught me anything.
What are you looking to work on next?
I want to figure out the basics of a template and stylesheet, as previously discussed, and then I want to fill out my index page some, make it look like a proper home instead of having globs of lorem ipsum all over the couch cushions.
