ok now it's time to think about what to do next here. there's a few things that i want to do, but most of the ways people do them use javascript! i'm not against using js eventually, but right now i'm pretty focused on wrapping my head around html and especially learning how to use css. i've done a lot with html over the years, mostly playing with tumblr themes, but some other stuff, too. but i hardly ever touched the css stuff on any of it.
it's actually interesting, i think being really into using carrd for a while has kinda helped me wrap my head around css. css element classes (is that even what they're called?) are kinda like the styles you can save for carrd elements. sort of. like not really but kind of.
anyways. i've been working on a gallery page for a few days. i'm pretty happy with how it's turning out! but oh man the load times are so badddd. i could probably do more to make the images smaller so they load faster but tbh i don't reallyyyy want to do that. so i'm thinking i'll split it up into multiple pages. which is gonna take some work. and i need to finish the code for the gallery before i can clone it to other pages. i have the gallery itself pretty much done, but it needs navigation! i tried to make a header for navigation and it's okayyy? but i don't know, something about the way it looks is just not what i'm going for. i think i might try a sidebar instead.
though tbh! i think i might hold off on working on the gallery and make a webcrafting resources page next. i keep finding so many cool things while i'm trying to figure out how to make something work, and i'd love to just have somewhere to put them all...
here's my current thoughts for this site! mostly putting it here so i can come back and look at it because my memory is so bad LOL
(lists in no particular order)
phase 1
- finish gallery code
- split wave gallery into pages
- guestbook!
- webcraft page
- core gallery. that's gonna be a whole thinggg idk how i want to sort that stuff! the wave gallery i can just sort by year but idk if that's how i want to do the core stuff?
- nav page. i love you big navigation pages
- finish the front page?? girl it's still just syndrome panini
phase 2
- zonelets might be a fun step into js/scripting?
- look into code editor programs so i'm not constantly just sending updates to the site to try new stuff & having to refresh the page constantly to check them lolll
- give the home page a marquee. i don't even know what i'd put in one they're just so fun...
- might put off the core gallery til phase 2 let's be real
- clean up the site code!! i've been using a lot of templates, so soooo much of the page styling is inline or in style tags just on the page instead of in the css... i wanna try and clean that up a little
- github repository???
