I'm slashpoke. I started my coding journey in March 2022. I will use this page to record my progress. This site will continually evolve as I work towards my goal of working from a local html doc to publishing this to my own domain. I plan to incorporate HTML, CSS, and JS as I develop skills in all three.

To-do's:

CSS codecademy course
Building Interactive JavaScript Websites codecademy course
Intermediate JavaScript codecademy course
Subdomains

Links to subdomains
Move blog to /blog subdomain

Add an under construction banner
- Host image
- Embed image

Completed to-do's:

Started index.html - 3/26/22
GitHub repo setup - 3/26/22
Redirect site to GitHub repo - 3/27/22
Complete Learn JavaScript codecademy course - 5/7/22

Life has been busy, however I have been working through the JS course on codecademy.

Objects are really neat. I did have some trouble with set/get syntax that I wanted to record. The project was to create a menu object that would run input through simple typeof validation before setting the requested value.

I found this site that will take a github link to a file and create code to embed the file in html: emgithub.com.

Today I created slashpoke.html to start my blog. This was based on the recommendation of Ryan H. After discussing the project with him, he said a local html file would be a good place to start, so here we are!

Today I made a couple tweets about BTC. Let's see if I can link them.

I created an unordered list and added a couple links to the daily and weekly chart tweets. I also embedded the daily chart tweet copying embed code from Twitter.

Ryan T recommended creating a GitHub private repo. They allow free page hosting and I could probably redirect my url to it. Private repos can't be hosted free, so I created a public repo. Downloaded GitHub desktop and linked to VS Code.

Started setting up DNS redirect. Encountering some issues. Will give the update some time and check back.
