1st writing in Learning Journal

Hello everyone! I am excited for this class. It seems like this may be a pretty intense course. I am hopeful with all the peer support and communication, especially our working partners, I am able to learn a lot and stay on top of assignments. Especially now that my wedding is over and I can focus more on the course.

Tardy End Post

Yes, I am a fan of these learning journals, and yes, I contradict myself because I often find myself forgetting to do them… However, I’ll go over the last few weeks of class!

It all started with the llama sites and having the header and footer all figured out and then we put “the loop” (creates blog posts or really any place where you wish to have customizable text) in the code.

For some reason, when you start with a llama site and then have the challenge of doing THE SAME thing but with a more complex looking header and footer, my mind goes blank. Literally last Tuesday, it was as if I had never seen code before. Not sure what happened. By Thursday, we transitioned last semester’s Concentric site into a theme WordPress would read.

Creating all those pages – essentially three different layouts – made the redundancy of the tasks stick into my brain. I was able to do the front page of the site on my own!

It really… honestly… shows that practice, practice, and practice, is not some cliche. There’s no epiphany here. I just need to get this more into my life. Not sure why I pass it off so easily, but it needs to become a fixture.
