My work

This was the first assignment that took 3 days.

I have started an assignment before and finished it the next day.

Never has it stretched out 3 days.

It took this long partially because I kept wanting to add things that didn’t have anything to do with the assignment.

1. I would have passed perfectly fine if all my menu items were centered but I wanted the logo on the left and the menu items on the right. This took forever.
2. One of the requirements of the assignment was to make the menu stay at the top of the screen at all times while scroling. I did this but then it blocked out my h2 that was at the top of the page. To fix this I had to make the z-index of the h2 higher than the nav bar. Then the h2 came back.
3. The “Grid-template-areas” feature which worked perfectly fine in my last assignment refused to budge during this one. Then I just gave up and used another grid table which I had on my computer and some guerilla techniques like putting images in table rows on a grid-styled table.
4. Another thing the assignment didn’t ask for was making your site have a hamburger menu on mobile. I became obsessed with this. Finally I did inspect and saw my mobile menu. I was so happy. Then realized there are no links, just the menu. In the end I decided to give up on this because when you try to do this without javasript it messes up everything else. So I am just going to pretend I don’t know how to do hamburger menus and not touch this topic again until I start javascript which should be about a week from now.
5. After I finished the assignment and passed, I thought to myself, “If a client hired me to do their website, I would not give them this.” So after all of that, I am not happy with this page. However, it passed so I will not worry about it for now. When you know better, do better. Once I learn javascript and solidify some of my other learning, this will be better. More on that topic “solidifying” in the next blog.
