Setting up VSCode

Starting with the VSCode was my first challenge:

• My first week my VSCode didn’t work, and I was running powershell as an administrator
• My actual computer files were showing up instead of my navigation and webpage With help, I learned how to setup correctly through powershell without running as administrator, and when I opened up VSCode, WSL was connceted correctly.

Buttons, Links, Embeds

• I added buttons, but they were not taking me to anywhere
• I linked the buttons to my pages and they started working
• I also wanted my links and buttons to open new tabs instead of taking me ot the website in my site, and I fixed the issue
• I found spotify embed codes and added that to my code to embed multiple playlists

Creating a New Page in HTML

• I didn’t know what pages to add, and why they weren’t linking correctly
• My links were broken because I didn’t understand that I needed to connect through config.yml
• when I deployed, the page didn’t look correct, but after fixing the three places to my repository name the webpage deployed correctly

Embedding an Image

• I first tried uploading images through my downloads, but I didn’t understand how that worked.
• I soon understood that I can embed my images through links
• from there, I learned to change the images so that I could crop out certain parts and change the size
• with this knowledge, I proceeded to add images to my home page through google drive

Learning to Make a Game

• This was mostly a process of trial and error
• I constantly changed the style of my games to what I wanted to look
• I uploaded my own images so that the games would look less boring
• I spent a couple hours adding all the games until they had the functions that I wanted.
