Week Fifteen – Final Website

It’s my final post in this class and I have to say it’s been quite the journey. When I signed up for Digital Writing and Publishing I never would’ve expected that I would spend 15 weeks delving into the world of coding and learning all about HTML and CSS. It was frustrating, exhausting, and rewarding in the end. I can say that I’m closing out this semester with a website that I’m proud of and look forward to updating in the future. Creating this has taken me one step further in my professional journey and I’m very grateful for all I learned.

Wishing everyone a happy holidays. Please use this time off to take some well-needed rest because I know both teachers and students need it.

Week Fourteen: Portfolio Update

Good morning and welcome back from break! I hope all who are reading had an amazing time off and took the opportunity to relax as well as catch up with any work if needed. As we are just about done with this project, I spent this week working on my hero screen and preparing my writing samples. Since the inspiration for my hero screen was a last-minute idea, I took to using Canva as a way of making something simple and elegant. As I am still working on it, I have yet to implement it into my actual website. Hopefully this weekend it comes out as planned and I can tidy up that part of my portfolio.

As for my actual website, this week I worked on polishing up my ‘About Me’ section and fixing the kinks I had regarding my scaling. I have finally been able to focus on the aesthetics of my website as my logo is just about done with a chosen color palette. Now I plan to go into next week putting everything together and officially uploading my full code for viewers to see. Creating my own website this year has been quite a challenging assignment, but I look forward to how the finished product comes out.
