Hi, my name is Blake Driskell!

Hello Everyone!

I plan to use the Web Design skills that I learn here to re-design my portfolio/professional website most importantly. Also I'll be able to take a lot of knowledge from this class and put it to use with client work in the future. My capabilities as far as website customization have been limited due to not having a good understanding of html, javascript, and css. Really looking forward to not always having to rely on a web builder like wordpress, as well as being able to provide clients with more custimization and interactivity.

My biggest passions in life have always revolved around family, action sports, and art. Throughout my life I have worked/lived in alot of amazing places, and experienced alot of amazing things that not many people get to. All of these experiences were amazing, but I was still searching for something else that I thought I was missing or needed in my life. One day after many years of trying many different career paths, and moving around alot I finally found the answer. That something else I had been waiting and searching everywhere else for was right in front of me the whole time. Once I realized this and turned back to the things that I've always been passionate about, life became so much deeper and meaningful. I truly do believe that magic we all search for is inside each one of us and it revolves around our true passions in life.

I am SO excited to learn about Web Design!

The top three things i would like to learn in the class are:

  1. (A base understanding of the 3 coding languages)
  2. (Adding functionality and customizations with html, javascript, and css)
  3. (How to launch a live webpage by transferring files to a server using a ftp)

I'm ready to get started!
