Finito

I just want to take the time to say that I was completely stuck on the whole lightbox thing for a really long time. I finally was able to figure it out for absolute sure with the help of my boyfriend and once I got that done I really got the ball rolling. My website is finished. I am happy. It will be posted to the server today when I get on campus.

Stuck

Although I looked up a few sites and tutorials on lightboxes, it's honestly not working right now and I am slightly frustrated with it. I guess I have no choice but to keep trying.

Addition

these lil guys

I've decided to add an entrance page to my site. One of those simple little click through things to get to the main content instead of just having it appear right away.

Awesome

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.

Oh, and thanks to one of the homework assignments (which would have helped immensely at the beginning of the semester) I now know how to include a download link for my resume. Totally cool.

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:

Inspiration

Doing a quick search on Google, I found a site that gives examples of really nice portfolio sites. Although these seem complicated and a bit out of my league, I figured I could at least share the sites. You can visit the page here.
