It will be posted to the server today when I get on campus.

Getting this thing started, I've got the basic HTML and CSS coding done for all the pages. So pumped I've been able to get a grasp on this web design stuff fairly quickly. With one week left, there's no time for stopping now.

Figured it out

Having never gotten the chance to ask how to create a lightbox for my images, a fellow student showed me this site which has proved to be incredibly helpful.

Website Ideation

I've started building my website. I came up with a general layout a few days ago. It is simple, but incorporates a small, but relevant part of me into the design. Here is a general idea of the site I want to build:
