Computer Classes Taken

This is the second HTML website that I have created. Ever. This year - my freshman year of high school - is the first time I have ever taken a coding class. This competition was a challenge, but it was fun to learn more as I attempted to combine functionality with aesthetics.

I got into coding from the website Scratch (https://scratch.mit.edu/) in eighth grade. It allowed you to create and play games that others have made. This year I am taking a real coding class where I learned about HTML and touched on Arduino. I joined this competition in the middle of the class, so it was a little daunting, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Occasionally, I would also find myself with a design that I liked, but with no idea how to follow through with it. Whenever that came up, I looked to stack overflow for help. Some of these links I used just as a refresher or for reference, but a few I actually had no clue how to work. It was great to learn.

HTML Help From Stack Overflow And Other Websites

I honestly just couldn't remember how to make a border around an element. I took this code as it was - only changing the details to fit my design. The question is for something else, but all I needed was the reference from the person's original code.

I was looking for help on centering an image, and this was just a reference for working the margins, floating, and width, etc (I didn't use all of the things they included). I still don't completely understand it all, but with some experimenting, I made margins and such work in my code.

Honestly, I still don't know if what I took from this was correct, as most of the questions I pulled help from were much more advanced. But, it turned out alright from what I played within the CSS stylesheet, and I understand what I did now.

This is just a quick way for me to help find the colors I liked.

All pictures are mine, and everything else in my code was something I learned from my current coding class, or I figured out on my own from messing around. I don't believe there is anything else to be cited here.
