In general, I found this week to be more difficult but I feel like this will be the beginning of me
Tuesday
On Tuesday I made more edits to my website! I’m decently happy with how it has turned out
notAnnabel/responsive-image-gallery (github.com)
One of the things I’m most proud of is when I figured out how to make an animated background, there wasn’t any specific tutorial to turn the linear gradient into an animation so I applied the same technique that I used in a previous week. It may not be the most aesthetically pleasing but I’ve gotten better at the keyframes technique that I was confused about before – in the future I’d love to use keyframes more because I feel like it can be used for me to add a nice personalised touch to make my webpages more memorable.
In addition to this, I also added a hover psuedoclass to my gallery items. The image on the left isn’t being hovered over, but the one of the right is. I gave my hover psuedoclass 0.75 opacity and a box shadow to let it stand out amongst the other gallery items more.
Wednesday
On Wednesday I learnt more about the flexbox model, opposed to the grid model we learnt about last week, I did find it slightly confusing so I’m definitely going to research it more. Overall I think its great that there are multiple ways to organise containers and images, in the future I’d like to use the flexbox model more.
Later on, I attend a talk about WordPress- in preparation for tomorrow. I was surprised by how versatile WordPress really is and in the future I hope I can gain the necessary skills to be able to use it to make my developer journal look better.
Thursday
On Thursday I attended a session about WordPress. I feel as though it was good to be able to look at all the possibilities of using WordPress, I also learnt that you can use JavaScript for word press purposes which I didn’t know about previously.
Later on we did look at more JavaScript, I did find it quite difficult so I will need to look at it more, but I’d love to grow to understand it more in the future as I’d love to add some sounds and many more features that I can’t add naturally with only CSS and HTML.
