Italia

I have applied and been accepted to study abroad in Italy for 3 weeks during summer break. I will earn 6 credit hours and will finish my non-major studio classes! I am working hard to fundraise to help pay for my trip. I am making these really fun notebooks which are for sale. Currently, small notebooks are $15 and large ones are $30. The easiest way to buy is to give on my GoFundMe (or if you see me regularly, you can pay in person). If you pay through GoFundMe, you will need to add an additional $5 for site fees and shipping.





Update

Well, I have nothing visually to show for the progress I’ve been making with the website even though I’ve been busting my butt and working hard.

In CSS, the {position} tag has some sort of bug. When I positioned the search bar to be in the right place, hyperlink functionality of the nav bar would disappear. I spent hours diagnosing the problem, trying to figure out if it was the JS or the HTML or the search bar itself… I finally discovered that the {position:relative} property was causing the problem, so I spent another chunk of time rearranging HTML elements into a different nav bar format, so I could use the {float:right} property instead. Finally fixed that bug.

My biggest problem currently is programing a stylesheet nav bar/basic content in one HTML page that can be accessed in all the pages so that code doesn’t have to be copied into every file. This is driving me bonkers. I’ve tried numerous tutorials to no avail.

Next step is to get down to the nitty gritty of JavaScript and really figure out what I’m doing so I can get that function working. It will take time, but it will also save time in the future if I learn it now.
