How did building your own website go?
Through the process of building my website, I found that there are more complicated ways to accomplish a relatively simple task. I was able to use markdown to create a website domain that was useable and loadable… but I could not figure out how to begin the process of building a website from scratch. The site that I had created was entirely blank. By using quarto, I was able to generate the website much easier. There was already a built in template using the creation of a new project blog. From there I was able to make a few changes such as replacing the default photo with my own and altering the set up a little bit.
Now that the website is up and working I am able to add posts and make changes as I continue working on new projects and taking on new adventures. I look forward to making more alterations to the website as the semester goes along to be able to make it unique to myself.
