Media Review Webpage

Media Review Webpage | Devlog #2

After a long hiatus, I came back to this project with a bit more motivation and inspiration than last time. I had a ton of ideas for what I wanted to do, but I wasn’t sure my skill level was high enough to program them. I only know HTML, CSS, and a bit of JavaScript, so even doing small things like showing/hiding elements takes me a long time.

Challenges

I wanted to make multiple pages using just one HTML file, since I wasn’t sure how many reviews I’d end up writing, and I wanted everything to be in one document. I got the text at the bottom to work properly like I wanted to, but I still don’t know how to show/hide more than one element at a time.

Using Flexbox was also a pain since my images never resize how I want them to, and I want to make this page mobile-friendly. I might look back at my code from a previous project to try and figure that out in the next devlog.

Additions

I mainly focused on resizing everything to look a bit cleaner, and also because the previous layout was just a 500px box that barely showed any info. I changed the banner at the top and the background to something more library-themed.

Media Review Webpage | Devlog #1

I had an idea for a while to make my own movie review/blog page, but I never really got around to doing it. Stardance was a good excuse for me to start making a lot of projects I’d procrastinated on for the past few months.

• short update to test lapse/hackatime
• changed the colours and fixed some sizing issues, planning to replace the photos and redo the actual layout next

The majority of the code is carried over from a previous project I started in the past, which I’m planning to revamp and complete during Stardance.
