Work in progress

Welcome

In the wake of every major social media site being poisoned by the pursuit of profit I'm starting a personal blog. Like in the olden days. Rather than use any number of premade codes, I've also decided to make my life harder by coding it from the floor up. This will be interesting because my coding expertise largely consists of fiddling with hex colors on Neopets when I was 12. To amuse myself, and give this page some filler in the meantime, I'm going to include a small devlog microblog thing.

Resources

MDN: A web developer resource hosted by Mozilla. Includes HTML, CSS, and other stuff. I prefer this to W3 or Codeacademy because I personally find it easier to understand the way things are explained. Also has a cookbook section with code "recipes".

W3 Schools: Another coding resource. I'm mostly using this is visual reference for how things are written out. Exercises and quizzes provide the option for a more study-based route if that's your jam.

HTML.com: Fairly self-explanatory website name. Check out their tutorials or meander around tag pages on your own. Also helpful if, like me, some of your knowledge is outdated; individual tag pages tell you if CSS is now the better alternative.

CodePen: A coding test site that lets you try out bits and bobs without any of the consequences of a site code update. Works best if you make an account, lest you lose 5 days of coding progress to a window refresh. (Ask me how I know)

A Field Guide to Web Accessibility: An introduction to things necessary for a website to be properly accessible. Includes overall design decisions as well as backend coding stuff.
