So far I have been relatively successful in gathering stories, however it has been a larger learning curve than i realized in putting this all together using HTML coding. I have prior knowledge of coding, but I have never been successful in scripting. Making this relatively difficult. Has anyone here ever inspected a google page and seen a mass mumbo jumbo appear on the right side of their screen?
I have, and was fascinated by it, so I decided to teach myself how to write code. Now I am trying to put it to use, and as I said before it is relatively difficult.
There have been lots of things I have learned, like you start a document with then proceed to put to begin the page. If you want to make a header you use pretty straight forward right? Only at first, if you want text white you have to put this This text here will now be white an now your text is white. Now say maybe you want to press enter t make a line space, nope doesn't work, you have to put
. Or maybe you want italics, you use .
. Or maybe you want italics, you use .
So if I wanted to make everything I just wrote above as HTML, it would be 4x as long. Then occasionally you make a mistake, and test the page, and it doesn't work, now you get to enjoy shifting through all that code you wrote to find your fatal error.
You then proceed to get a headache, either from the constant staring at a screen, or from the amount of times you slam your head into your desk. I can never tell.
After a some ibuprofen, you sit back down and proceed to start writing again. Then you need to do something you have never done before, so you surf the web, browsing YouTube. Only to find out there isn't a single tutorial on it. If find this website to be very helpful. Allowing you to manipulate sample code, and instantly see the results below. A couple hours later you get to repeat the process, and after a week find out you have only finished one story.
