The last time I built a website (and it was a really simple one!) was in 2004, using Macromedia Dreamweaver 2003. A lot has changed since, so basically I had to start learning from scratch how to do it.

I looked at some tutorials, starting with one explaining the difference between plain HTML …

… and what using CSS adds to this. I looked at LibraOffice and Sea Monkey, but since as a Photoshop user I am very used to the Adobe user interfaces I decided to build my website in Adobe Dreamweaver.

I choose a standard template that came with the app. I figured out how the code worked by changing omething in split-view and look at the result. I started adding my own content, duplicate parts of code and add more pages, including an about me and a final project page where I formulated initial thoughts on my final project.

Next step was to get everything into the repository. I started by reading the first chapters of the Pro Git book and watched a few youtube git tutorials, like "Introduction to Git" and "Learn to Git, Basic Concept"

By following the instructions of our instructor Bas Withagen and using this handy flashcard, I managed to push my website to the git.fabacademy.org repository using git bash.
UPDATE:
When I wanted to make changes to my website a few months later I got a scary message, stating "Possible DNS spoofing possible". I asked guru Bas for help. Bas explained this probably was a fingerprint problem, caused by a change of server (in Dutch: "De server is gewijzigd en heeft dus een andere fingerprint. Jouw ssh client heeft nog steeds de oude fingerprint en geeft daarom deze waarschuwing.")
Per his instructions I typed this command in git bash:
ssh –keygen –f “/c/users/inger/.shh/known_hosts” –r git.fabacademy.org
Git pull then returned the question whether or not to add the new fingerprint to my known_hosts file, to be replied by Yes.
After this the changes could be pushed and (after a small webhook problem) became visible as expected.
