Website


This is my first webpage, and I am writing it in HTML and, of course, CSS. Thanks for not condemning my coding skills! I am jumping in to this code just to get my Fab Academy website up and running. I hope that my website will improve as the weeks go on and I have a little bit of time here and there to explore and experiment more with CSS.

Before I jumped into html and css, I started work on Wix, an online website design tool. It is very nice and has beautiful templates. I spent hours making a pretty website for this class:




Unfortunately, I discovered, well after spending hours designing this site, that Wix doesn't allow users to download the html code for websites designed there. This was very disappointing to me, though eventually I realized that it could be useful learning some coding. Here is a very helpful tutorial I have been using to learn html and css.

This is a tutorial video that I am using to learn some basic coding.

I ended up downloading Sublime Text, because I find it very helpful in writing html because it color codes the handles and helps keep you organized. I downloaded the free trial version here.

Here is what the editor in Sublime Text looks like. It's quite handy for writing html.

Once I had a few html files written, it was time to upload them onto the Fab Academy archive. This was a confusing process, but I managed to succeed with help from my "local" instructor.

Once I had all of my software ready to go and my files were located in the file folder where they needed to be, I pushed my first files to the archive! Here are the steps I used (and will continue to use) to get my files loaded on the git hub:
  1. Open up terminal on my Ubuntu computer.
  2. Get into the correct directory by typing: cd fablabcarnegiesciencecenter/...
  3. type: git add name_of_file
  4. type: git commit -m'add a comment'
  5. type: git push origin master

And that is exactly what I did to bring me to this point!
