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

Have you run into any unexpected problems accomplishing something that you'd like to do with your project?

My biggest struggle was how to implement a fixed-width div that floated right and would be as long as the overall page. This div was supposed to extend my wallpaper since the wallpaper was designed for a smaller resolution. This div gave me all kinds of problems: when I got one thing to work right, another thing didn't. Eventually, I decided I didn't want a right-hand floating menu, especially as I began exploring websites from "back in the day" and thought about the kind of overall aesthetic I want for my site. I edited the background graphic to extend the width and did away with the divs.

I've finalized how I want my homepage to look (https://porcelain.neocities.org/), and now I'm finally ready to start building my pages.
