I'm trying to make a blog (1)
Why I Started
Last week, I wanted to submit an ES to a company. It's time to start the job search I thought, although it's likely I'll be moving on to a master's program. But the company asked me to provide a website that shows personal skills, achievements, etc. I just typed my GitHub's URL on it. So this time, I want to have a blog to help others understand me. And I also love sharing some of my learning notes. That's why I got started to make this website.
How I Approached It
At first, after reading some suggestions online, I chose the book "Head First HTML And CSS" by Elisabeth Robson and Eric Freeman. It took me about 3~4 hours a day for a week, to read, write code, and take notes at the same time. After that, I found some very nice blogs that have given me inspiration on design. I spent a day, mostly on making the navigation bar, even though it's simple.
Inspiration Sources
Thank them very much. What perfect websites!
ToDo List
I hope to finish these pages by the end of next week:
- Archive
- About me
- CN pages
- JP pages
In April I will start working on my graduation research. So, I can't continue learning JavaScript and other knowledge to help me improve this site anytime soon, but I will try to solve the database to share my learning notes.
Reflections
This marks the beginning of my blog creation journey - driven by practical needs for job applications but evolving into a platform for sharing knowledge and building personal brand. The process of learning HTML/CSS fundamentals while being inspired by existing developer blogs shows the importance of both foundational learning and community inspiration.
