26. Continuing with my first assignment (Day 22)
M

I've just started my journey in learning to code and using Hashnode to chronicle my learnings and experience. Besides this, I work full-time and dabble in vlogging, podcasting, drawing, startup ventures, and fitness training.

Today, and once again I spent a bit of time building my portfolio/profile website for my assignment. I do find code interesting, and I look forward to tinkering with my html and CSS, every day, even if it's for an hour or so.

In the evening, I had a 1:1 virtual class with my tutor to help me understand why the responsiveness of my page broke (especially the navigation bar) when I used Partial files. In reality, it wasn't those files but just that I didn't wrap my <div class=nav-items" </div> within another <div> tag, and then use that one to center it, a margin around.

We went through a bit of Media Queries as well. I inquired as to the best screen sizes we should be using while setting up Media Queries, and he referred me to this page on Bulma where you can find the 5 main screen sizes to use:

  • mobile: up to 768px

  • tablet: from 769px

  • desktop: from 1024px

  • widescreen: from 1216px

  • fullhd: from 1408px

So, that's what I will do. But, I think just the mobile, tablet, and desktop will do.

Overall, I have mostly finished the full website:

  • Homepage: DONE

  • About: DONE

  • Skills, Portfolio, Experience: DONE

  • Blog home page: PENDING

  • 5 Blog articles: PENDING

  • Contact: PENDING

Besides the above, I have to create the following as well:

  • Figma wireframe for all the pages (3 versions - mobile, tablet & desktop!)

  • a PowerPoint presentation

  • a video presentation

Plenty remaining!

How do you eat an elephant?

  • Bite by bite.
