It's time for Small Web September Check-In 4!

The loose theme of this check-in is troubleshooting! Have you run into any unexpected problems accomplishing something that you'd like to do with your project? Maybe you have a feature that you want to implement, but have no idea what you'd need to look up in order to do that. Or are there any questions that you have about the small web (maybe terms you find confusing) that you'd like to ask?

Whatever it is, add it to the comments! There's no obligation to take part in the theme, of course - you can just add a progress update for your SWS project, or share anything you want to discuss. The sky's the limit \o/

A bonus discussion-starter (optional, so no pressure to include this!): What was something you didn't know how to do when you started out on your small web project(s) that you've since learned?

(This doesn't have to be during the challenge - it can be anything you've learned while doing small web stuff).

As a reminder, this is the fourth of five ‘check-in’/comment points that will be published during the event – you can check out the schedule and dates for these posts in the event intro post. There’s no cut-off point for leaving comments on these, so you can add something at any time – you also don’t need to comment on every one or do them in order! The themes are a loose guide, but any discussion is welcome.

Also, a heads up that the date of our next check-in will be the 30th September (the last day of the challenge) - so whereas these normally go up on a Sunday/later on Saturday depending on your timezone, the last check-in will go up on Monday or late Sunday. So don't be alarmed if it hasn't arrived at the normal time!

For our last check-in with 'halfway point' goals and discussions, go here: Small Web September Check-In 3: Halfway Point

kicking my butt to get this gallery page up - it's happening, i think i just find the updating links/captions tedious lol so it's a struggle but the end result will be worth it!

i used to have a comment form on my "about" page, but for some reason it would only work on the http and not the https version so i ended up deleting it :( will have to check out the recs for guestbooks that people have shared in this community.

not sure i've learned anything new in terms of coding yet, but i went ahead and renewed my current host because they gave me a $30 discount (so it ended up being cheaper than something like hostwinds or nearlyfreespeech for my needs) and i got an email saying that automatic payments had been enabled when i hadn't even been given the choice to do that. i immediately disabled it, of course. unless they give me another discount next year i'll still be looking to transfer since that's scammy behavior, lol, and the lesson here is always pay close attention to your email and bank accounts!
