I spent most of today attempting to revamp my website. It's currently acceptable enough to display some work, but it's a bit slow to load and rather bland. In all honesty, I threw it together rather quickly--can we say "graduation deadline"?. I took the time to make it without a pre-made set up, but I just didn't really know what I wanted or what I was doing.
Thinking about it now, I still don't really know what I want it to look like, nor do I know what I'm doing.
Go figure.
But I actually think things are going a lot better. I'm taking the extra step to learn css and html, and I'm creating the website from the codes as opposed to letting a program make the code for me. I'm learning quite a bit, although it's really difficult and frustrating. I'm not that good with computers and technology to begin with, and teaching myself all of this from bits and pieces gathered from different online help sites hasn't been easy. But I think it's coming along; slowly, but surely. In the end it may not look that much more fantastic compared to what I have now, but I'm actually okay with that. I'm learning a lot about what I can and can't do with websites, so I'm taking this as an experiment.
And the best part is, it feels great to be learning again. And I'm doing it on my own--which means I can still learn things outside of a classroom and without a teacher (bet you didn't think that was possible...ha). And it's actually coming together!
For the first time in a while I'm feeling accomplished. I'm painting again, I'm thinking about projects, and I'm learning css.
I guess there's hope for me after all!
