So it's a month and 5 days later. I didn't stick to my plans quite as rigidly as I would've hoped to, but...
I learned a good deal. I know how HTML works better now, which definitely helps me manage this site overall. Going through all those variated tutorials at least showed me that there's a way to register user input in a site, as well as dynamically design it.
Did I become a web design God? Nope.
Did I finish the course? Also nope.
Did I have fun and learn something? Absolutely.
I'll continue with the work I began. I'll keep working on this site, gradually turning it into the blog you deserve and want to read. I'll keep directing people towards it as a means of finding what works and what doesn't. And of course, I'll constantly fish for compliments about it.
Summertime is coming, my friends. I hope you can get out there and enjoy it.
Cheers,
Jack
