Every little decision is taking me ages because I am a very anxious rodent who absolutely wants to make the Bestest, Most Accessible website ever. Even though I, to be honest, do not expect anyone to ever visit. Thinking about visitors give me even more anxiety!
Anyway, I've had to add a div element to my HTML today, and I'm very unhappy about it.
The design is all broken! I'm really struggling! But I'm trudging onward.
I've been incredibly... depressed, busy with work/housechores/errands, suddenly obsessed with gardening and biodiversity protection, and my usual delightful little chronically ill self.
But! Today I didn't feel immediately overwhelmed when having a look at EGGRAMEN's code, so there's that. I jumped on the occasion, did a back up of my existing code, and... went to town!
Today, I drank coffee. COFFEE.
I'm feeling much better than yesterday, and I want to code, but I still don't know what I want to do.
That's like, the story of my life! I hate it! I hate it so much!
So anyway, I had a look around EGGRAMEN and decided to try and recreate their "Busy Generic" design.
I'm not going to copy/paste their code and call it a day! Because I've had a look already and I'm not sure I understand why they did it that way. So first I'm going to study it a bit!
No progress today. I'm feeling sad & depressed & so very sick.
I'm also feeling a bit stuck. I need a clearer idea of where I want to go with this, but my brain isn't functioning at the moment.
Fingers crossed tomorrow goes better!
Last night I checked what my blog looks like on my phone, and that's!! not working out at all, folks!! It is NOT!
I tried what I remembered of responsive design. It didn't work. So I tweaked things around a bit.
Then I started looking into a tagging system. I've never done any JavaScript, and I struggled to find the proper tutorial or info online.
Now my head is spinning a little, so I'm done for the day!
Today, we got fonts!
Being incredibly not motivated/inspired to design anything, I decided to start working on a tagging system instead.
I can't add any proper search function-- this website is hosted on Neocities, so I don't have access to the necessary back-end stuff.
But hopefully I can add a filtering system with JavaScript or something like that!
Design is haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard. I don't know what I want to or how to do it. :D
Yesterday I thought I had an idea, but today I dislike it. And I'm tired due to meetings and other commitment, so I'll take these little borders as today's progress.
I should have taken a screenshot yesterday. Gonna do that now! It's important to record my progress!
Hi everyone, and welcome to my website!!
This is a test link.
(You are immediately transported back to 2003.)
Today I:
I'm not sure what else to write! I want to see if I can hand-code myself a homepage throughout the month of October.
I have been trying to get back to coding for a while now, but I'm struggling with the scope of my current projects and the lack of external structure.
I'm excited to focus on a smaller-scale project (a blog that looks good enough on all my devices and which is accessible to screen readers) within a limited, manageable time frame (the month of October 2023).
Stay tuned!
