WEEK 5: Progress has accelerated

As I told you last week, progress of NarnianT-shirts.com has been accelerated due to me finding out what the specific CSS code of elements are thanks to a Google Chrome tool. And as I promised last week, a lot of progress has been made.

My main focus was getting the colors adjusted. Before, everything on the site was grey. It made the site look really boring and unprofessional (not sure how pro a joke website can be, but whatever). But, thanks to Google Chrome, I have changed the colors to make NarnianT-shirts.com look a bit more lively and easier to look at.

I made the title a gold color, added a background, changed the link design from blue and underlined to just grey, and made a couple minor changes.

Other changes? I added a new gag blog post, got rid of unnecessary links on the right sidebar, and now when you hover over one of the tabs, it makes them grey. Changes like that were made this week.

Narnian T-Shirts Week 4: I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!!!

My main problem with NarnianT-Shirts.com the past couple of weeks has been finding the CSS codes for stuff like the header, menu, content, and background. It has hampered my ability to make quick progress with the site.

But that problem is resolved now! My teacher, MR. ERIK JONES, found a tool on Google chrome that can highlight the area you want to edit and tell you what the CSS code is for that element. Such a great tool. I feel as though progress with the site can move along much quicker now that searching for something won't take forever.

I have successfully changed the header font, the header color, and the entire menu... in 20 minutes. Think about what I can do if I have a whole week!

I also put in Edmund and Lucy profile pages, which adds to the content of the site. A new T-shirt design will be coming next week.

Full steam ahead!

WEEK 3: Trying to find things

OK, I have run into a problem.

I want to edit the header to make it say "Where we're irrelevantly relevant". Problem is, I can't seem to find the page that I go to edit the header is located. This idea of not finding things has been a theme throughout my time with Wordpress, and it's starting to wear on me a bit.

Blogger has the advantage over Wordpress when it comes to easiness.

That's really been the only problem. I put in two new pages talking about Peter and Susan and what kind of pictures my customers could put on their shirts. It's super fun just kind of joking around with the site, not really being serious when it comes to the information.

I have had to be careful when it comes to pictures. I can't use copyrighted photos, because then I have the potential to get in trouble with the owner of the picture.

I expect to add a LOT more onto the site in the coming week.

NarnianT-shirts.com: WEEK 1

Last week, for my final project, I decided to create a website called NarnianT-shirts.com.

The site is merely going to be about absolute ridiculousness. I mean, who makes Narnian T-shirts? No one!

I'm just getting acquainted with how Wordpress works (sorry Blogger, I ditched you) so the site at this point is unimpressive.
