We have one more day to be done with our first project—Thursday at 5:00 p.m. to be exact. Yesterday was a black day where I found myself seriously contemplating whether or not, at 55 years of age, I’m still capable of pulling all-nighters. However, after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, I’m happy to report that I’m almost done! I was hysterical over the “user interaction” page, but today I went through my Ravelry project folder, and all 2,555 photos on my phone, and managed to cough up six projects I actually created myself. I debated including something I like to call the “Scarf from Hell,” (there IS a story behind this), but I doubt anyone would pay me money for THAT pattern.
I can’t decide whether or not I should try using the optional JavaScript for the login screen that our instructor showed us. It would be impressive (and I’m wondering how “optional” this is), but I’m thinking it could also hose my site. I’ve spent hours upon hours shrinking and blowing up pictures to accommodate media queries, and scouring code for errors. It never fails to baffle me how code that seems to work just fine in the browser validates with 20 tag errors (including tags that are backward). I did figure out my error in deploying to the GitHub .io file…that old filename capitalization bugaboo bit me in the *** again! Something else I’ll need to fix tomorrow…
After all this, I’d just as soon not foul this all up with JavaScript I didn’t write…but I may change my mind tomorrow.
