This is It
Wow! Who can believe that this semester is gone already. 12 full weeks! Where did the time go!
While I absolutely hate to be this close to christmas break, you know, the time full of love, cheer, and oodles of goodies, I can say that there is one good thing about it : I am finally done my website! (Unfortunately, I can't say the same about my essay, but I mean I am getting there... I think -prayers would be appreciated on that one). Anyways, the site turned out pretty much how I expected it would! Of course there are things that I would have done differently if the time allowed, but overall I think I managed to get pretty close to what the client wanted which is great. You'll hear all about my website in class on Tuesday I am sure, so instead I will focus on my favourite part of this class.
--> My favourite part of this class was being told, and coming to the realization, that I could use any theme that I wanted to make a website. Before this class I was somehow under the impression that child-themes only worked with very specific themes.
Going forward, I would be interested in learning a lot more about PHP. I feel that I am definitely not up to par and would like to improve my understanding of it. I think that I will definitely work through tutorials, etc. on my own time, but I think that a couple weeks of php in future classes would definitely be beneficial in future classes. I know that it is something that is appearing on a lot of the job criteria sections as I am applying for jobs.
That said, I had a great semester. As weird as it is for me to say this already... Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The Wonderful World of Wordpress
Well, after last weeks class I realized that this course is coming to an end a lot sooner than I had expected and I still have lots to do. As you know from numerous other blogs this past week, a 20 page research paper has and will continue to take over a large portion of my time. That said, I am expecting that this website meets all of my standards and expectations, as well as the clients. My main area of concern at this time seems to stem from Wordpress itself.
I am having a difficult time using any of the plugins to upload any of my content and a lot of the things that I have been working on don't even seem to be showing up as far as content. At this time, when I click on the choose image button to upload content to my gallery, absolutely nothing happens.
I am using OTW Portfolio Light.
If anyone has any idea as to why this might be happening, please feel free to share any advice you may have!
