My journey as I learn computer coding to become a web designer after I retire from teaching. Join me as I share my successes and my obstacles. I’ve been working on tutorials with FreeCodeCamp. Hopefully, I will reach my goal within the next few years.
When you finally figured out why your social icons wouldn’t justify-content-between using Bootstrap 4 and flexbox…
Yasss! It took an hour, but I finally figured out my “div” container wasn’t large enough… That meant my icons couldn’t spread out if they didn’t have room. Something so simple! Yet, it took an hour and a Google search before I realized my mistake. My #100DaysofCode is never dull!
I started working on my Product Landing Page two days ago. I decided to keep the Caribbean travel theme from my Survey Page. The tests set up by FreeCodeCamp have been very helpful.

It’s taken me a while, but I finally finished my CSS and Flexbox Tutorials! Now I’m ready to start my Responsive Design Projects! I was able to complete a Tribute and Portfolio pages before FreeCodeCamp added more tutorials. Now that I’ve learned new techniques (and reviewed important old ones), I plan …
I’m glad I signed up for the CodePen Challenge! I was concerned about using the coding skills that I was learning. Now I can practice those skills using the challenges. This form took a while for me to complete. I always get caught up in the type of code I …
It’s Caturday and “School is Over” Saturday! That means I can focus my time, mind, and energy on my coding. Today I was designing a portfolio website using Bootstrap 4. Actually, I’m trying to review HTML5 and different frameworks. It seemed like a good idea to review Bootstrap using W3Schools’ website. Now that I’ve gone through the information a second time, it makes sense. It’s still a work in progress, but this is what I’ve done so far. Continue reading
