I am making this site to be a home for my devlogs and personal projects. I have decided to do this as I am currently a second year computer science student and webmastery seems like a fun hobby to engage with at the moment.
It also gives me somewhere to share my projects with the world, along with an incentive to create new projects as I will need content for the site.
It is currently 2am and I started the website about an hour ago, it currently looks something like this:
Although saying that since I had to add an image into this devlog I decided to reorganize some of the file structure as I could see it getting messy in the future. There is probably a way to load this devlog in as a file which I could organize away, I should check to see if that is possible and if so I will do that.
We have a more pressing issue, I should probably fix the css first so these are actually readable!
Ok I have had a look at it and have given it a programmary feel. It looks like something a hacker in a movie would use so will probably change it soon, but for now it is serving its purpose so it's now time to investigate loading posts as files.
I figured out how to load the posts in from an external html file, which means I can now organize my posts better, I used a handy function from w3schools, the includeHTML() function. Which can be found below;
This function loops through all the elements of the page looking for elements with the attribute w3-include-html, when its found an element with the attribute, it sends a html request to the address specified (our devlog1.html file in this instance. It then adds it to the html inside the div (innerHTML). If wasn't so lazy I would code it myself, but their function works fine for what I want to do at the moment. I'm sure I will adjust it at some point.
And that is the end of today's devlog as it is time to sleep.
