Week 8

Since Thanksgiving is coming up, I actually have to take a moment to be thankful. I have a lot to be thankful for, but I don't usually think about it.
In regards to my Blueprint to Brilliance project, I'm most thankful that my project is helping me learn HTML and CSS. I'm also really thankful that my project is allowing me to make a website.
I'm really thankful for the help I've received from codecademy.com, the always wonderful Google, and my boyfriend.

Have a happy Thanksgiving!! :)

Week 7

My Next Three Steps

  • Continue learning html and css
  • Find an expert that isn't Google or codecademy.com
  • Make my site look less like a 13 year old made it

None of my next steps will be very hard. I don't have any particular order for them at the moment since they all correspond with each other. I do think learning more css will really help with fixing my site, though.

My Site

Week 5/6

After the speeches, I decided I wasn't going to make it very far with my chosen topic. Luckily, I had a couple backup topics I could fall back on. I have thus changed my topic, title, and url. I will now be learning and applying HTML and CSS. I have a website I'm playing with coding on (www.angrilyconfusednerds5010.net)*, and I will make it look less like a 6th grader's computer apps project and more like an actual site.
I'll be using Codecademy for the majority of my learning, but I'll also use other reference sites. I'll probably also get help from some of my team mates who know coding.
Hopefully, this topic will be a better year long project, and I'll be able to have a good end product.
