2017 01 29 Creating the website

Hello World! For this website I'm using the Fab Academy website template created by former student Massimo Menichinelli. This is the first website that I'm doing with a real purpose. My past expience with HTML and CSS was with Code Academy tutorials, but I never had practiced cooding beyond the course. In the next weeks, I pretend to put some efort in studing more CSS and JavaScript to customize the website. As text editor I'm using Sublime Text 3.

2017 02 02 Better description about me and fix images size

I'm starting to be more familiar with simple commands in HTML. It's funny to see how afraid I was of building a website. Now I see that it's not so difficult, mainly when one use a good template. Today I wrote more about me and fixed the size of the images (the size it appears on the page) by setting the pixels at Inkscape. I don't think that is the best way to do it, I remember I saw something in Code Academy about doing it with CSS, but I din't want to spent time to go through it now. How I was practicing Inkscape, I decided to use it to fix this issue.

2017 03 01 Using GIMP to resize images by batches

A collegue from Fab Academy, Fábio Pelicano, recomend me a plugin from GIMP to resize a lot of images with a simple operation: DBP (David's Batch Processor). Since then, I'm using it to ensure that my website does not get heavier than necessary.

2017 06 22 How to upload files to achive

First of all I did the Git Tutorial and downloaded Git Bash for windows. To set my Git, I used a guide prepared by Síron, the Fab Manager of Fab Lab Facens, a very good guide, written in portuguese. With the Git installed and set, you just have to follow the "Git Mantra" - pull, add *, commit, push - to upload the files to archive. Teh picture bellow shows one exemple of applying "Git Mantra".
