So, today I wanted to share a little project I’ve been messing around with – I’m calling it bibijones. I really wanted to learn a bit more about how to set up a simple website, and I figured the best way was to just jump in and try it myself. I started with the basics, getting a grasp of some HTML, you know, the usual stuff like headings, paragraphs, and lists. It was pretty fun just playing around and seeing how things looked on the page.
Then I figured, why not make it look a bit nicer? That’s when I started poking around with CSS. I learned how to change colors, mess with the fonts, and move stuff around on the page. Honestly, I spent hours just tweaking things, but it was cool to see how much of a difference these little changes could make.
- First, I just started playing with HTML tags.
- Then I started messing with CSS to make it look how I wanted.
- After that, I realized I needed some dynamic stuff, so I started learning JavaScript.
Getting Interactive with JavaScript
After getting comfortable with the look, I wanted my site to actually do something, not just sit there. So, I started tinkering with JavaScript. I played around with adding buttons that, you know, actually did something when you clicked them. I even tried to make a simple form where people could type stuff in. It was a bit of a headache at first, but once I got the hang of it, it felt pretty awesome.
Dealing with Some Annoying Issues
Of course, it wasn’t all smooth sailing. I ran into a bunch of issues. Sometimes my CSS just wouldn’t work the way I wanted, and don’t even get me started on the JavaScript bugs. Debugging was like a whole other skill I had to learn. But hey, every time I fixed something, it felt like a little victory.
One of the problems I ran into was trying to delete a corrupted file on my old Windows laptop. It was an “*” file that was messing with one of my software programs. After trying to delete and replace it with a good file, I finally found a solution online. It’s these little hurdles that really test you, but overcoming them is super satisfying.
Keep Learning, Keep Trying
After I finish this project, I think I’ll try to understand Greek. I found a dictionary online edited by the Academy of Athens, and there’s another monolingual dictionary I want to check out. It’s interesting how one thing leads to another. Like, when I was working on my project, I kept thinking about how to deal with people who doubt you. I realized the best way is to just be grateful to them for pushing you to be better. It’s kind of a weird way to think about it, but it helps me stay positive.
One time, I tried to understand a game’s control keys. They were all listed, arranged by function, and it took me a while to get it, but it was worth it in the end. It’s like learning a new language, similar to what I’m doing with Greek now. This whole journey, from building a website to trying to learn a new language, is about not giving up and always trying to improve.
So, that’s pretty much it. This project, bibijones, was just a simple idea, but it’s taught me so much. It’s been frustrating, rewarding, and everything in between. But most importantly, it’s shown me that you can really learn anything if you just stick with it. And who knows, maybe this is just the start of something bigger.
