i'm sure it will be quite a looooooong time before i ever actually use it / develop my coding skills more to the point where i'm comfortable putting myself out there, BUT the other day i finally started coding a (very, very) rough draft of my portfolio! 👍🏻

i haven't entirely figured out how i plan to display my web development skills beyond coding more tumblr themes since that's the only ~experience i have so far, so my tentative plan is to revamp my old theme blog then update old themes + make some new ones.

but honestly, before i even get that far ahead of myself i really need to buckle down and work on learning javascript more + jquery too. then there's also some server side languages i wanna learn too, like xml, php, and sql, but right now js & jquery are my main focus because they're essential for front end web development along w html & css.

i took the html & css quizzes on w3schools just to see where i'm at in terms of knowledge. i got 95% or something on the css quiz (literally got ONE question wrong ugh) and about 80ish on the html one. i definitely need to get more familiar with html. i'd say i feel roughly 75% comfy with most of it. css, however, i feel pretty darn confident with.

(i wonder if dreamwidth will let me add an iframe in an entry. that would be sweet actually, so i'm gonna try, haha.

damn it didn't work. i wanted to try and embed my portfolio lol)

ah well, anyway. i've really gotta stop procrastinating with the learning coding thing. i gotta get into it more studiously in my free time if i actually wanna get somewhere with it someday.

so this is my kick in the tush to get my shit together, haha.

also i really wanna display my photography on my portfolio too, so that's another reason why i gotta learn js & jquery, cause i wanna display them in a more dynamic, slideshow kinda way. i've already got some photos displayed as bg pictures, and i plan on implementing a slideshow bg on bigger resolutions too.
