I reflected deeply on who I was, what I did, my past. my future, and the present. I considered both who do I want to be? and who am I? I tried to answer both of those questions in my poem. ]]> 2023-09-11 16:14:25 UTC https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2697739514 whill242_1 https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2697739972 Taking inventory of myself was difficult. I struggled to talk about myself. I preferred to talk about what I did instead of who I really was.]]> 2023-09-11 16:14:41 UTC https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2697739972 whill242_1 https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2697747985 I was frustrated because I felt like I was taking too long to write the poem, and I felt that the quality of what I was producing didn't correlate with the amount of time I was putting in. ]]> 2023-09-11 16:19:31 UTC https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2697747985 whill242_1 https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2697748489 I began by writing out a very basic template of code. I tried to enter as many of the required features as I could; that was my only focus. ]]> 2023-09-11 16:19:48 UTC https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2697748489 whill242_1 https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2697753365 This was pretty straightforward. I wasn't trying out any of the code I had written. This felt proportionally easier than actually writing the poem.]]> 2023-09-11 16:22:43 UTC https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2697753365 whill242_1 https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2697756205 I grouped the poem into three sections which I thought had some sense of a logical theme; although, the poem was largely a stream-of-consciousness piece. I added each place to the template of code and tested it as a whole. The first time, nothing showed up on the web page the way I wanted. I was left unsure of what went wrong in a sea of unorganized code.]]> 2023-09-11 16:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2697756205 whill242_1 https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2698266114 I learned that it is not smart to add a lot of parts of code at a once. It is better to go step by step so you know--if something goes wrong--where the error lies. ]]> 2023-09-11 23:49:14 UTC https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2698266114 whill242_1 https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2698266651 I was very discouraged. I though everything should be working correctly and I had already spent multiple hours writing the code and my poem. I was ready to give up. ]]> 2023-09-11 23:49:52 UTC https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2698266651 whill242_1 https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2698268242 I was forced to meticulously go back through my code and try everything one by one. I only fixed things to the bare minimum requirements. I tried to do complicated things--like change the margins and create a pamphlet-like design--but I couldn't figure it out. I gave up and called it quits on the assigment.]]> 2023-09-11 23:51:37 UTC https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2698268242 whill242_1 https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2698269796 It is important to organize code in a way that will allow you to go back in an make edits. My code ended up being incredibly unorganized and hard to edit. I called an end to the project and decided I would hand in a pretty plain assignment.]]> 2023-09-11 23:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2698269796 whill242_1 https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2698272311 After going to class and hearing Mr. Bakker talk about the assignment I decided to go in and give things a second shot. I went slowly and decided to focus on fixing the margin-pamphlet look I had tried to go for previously. After a lot of trial and error on the w3bshools website I found my error was in using improper brackets. I finalized the website and it ended up looking exactly like I wanted.]]> 2023-09-11 23:56:19 UTC https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2698272311 whill242_1 https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2698275209 Organization is key!! Trial and error is the name of the game and it is unwise to write long sections of code at once. It is good to take long breaks when you can't figure something out and come back with fresh eyes. Most of the time you can figure out what was going wrong!]]> 2023-09-11 23:59:33 UTC https://padlet.com/whill242_1/w7xhg9vo4zvz1jpu/wish/2698275209
