So I realized in the middle of the night last night that I had completely forgotten to do my website journal before bed last night…. whoops. I know some of you have been really enjoying it, so I wanted to put yesterday’s write-up on the blog ASAP this morning. Yesterday, I worked pretty much non-stop on the side, and almost all of it was working on programming the graphics. I have 4 of the 8 menu systems complete now, and they are all reactive so that they are just as functional on mobile and small screens as they are on desktop large screen. You will lose the epic rainbow tabs, but the menus will still work so you can get around the site if you’re needing to find info while on a tablet or mobile. Picture below shows what the menus do in desktop mode when you switch sections…. Not to toot my own horn, but it’s brilliant.. and perfect.

I also did quite a bit of work on the forums styling, so that they match the website. Which took so much time to figure out. They’re not 100% functional and turned “on” yet, but I’m hoping to have them ready for launch in time. Along with the membership feature. You can also see, I’ve begun getting the sidebars set up for the content pages, as well – although they’re not done yet.

Then, just before bed…. I started working on the overview pages. Which stumped me for the longest time. I couldn’t get them to do what I wanted them to. But it was bedtime, so I stopped, saved everything, and went to bed frustrated. Which may be why I woke up in the middle of the night equally frustrated, but with an idea for how to make it work. So I had to get up and try to fix it before I could go back to sleep again. From this shot, you can see that I haven’t finished writing some of the new pages… but you can see what the “child” pages on the front page overviews will look like.

Also.. one final note.. I also added some reaction buttons (pictured below) with the posts and pages, as well as share buttons, and the standard “like this post” thing yesterday.

Then, before going back to bed, I reorganized my todo list and plan, trying to figure out how to have enough time and organization to finish up the website in time for launch…. I think.. maybe.. it’s possible? … We will certainly see. But, anyway.. so much more to do today… but I’ll get to that write-up when the time comes. Have a wonderful day!

I am definitely enjoying following your progress and am looking forward to seeing it go live. 🙂
I’m glad people are enjoying the journal. It helps me to see how far I’ve come, even though there’s so much still to do.. it helps to give me hope that I’ll get it done.
