I Hosted My First Ever Website

REMEMBER THIS GUY???

Y’all I have good news…. I am super excited. Literally screaming my lungs out.
So the good news is I HOSTED MY FIRST EVER WEBSITE!!!
https://onomeblessing.com/

Well I have been working on this project for some time now and I am going to say it hasn’t been easy. Working on it for hours and encountering lots and lots of errors, debugging, and going back to it non-stop. I do get frustrated when I’m stuck because of errors. But like the saying, No Bug; No Life.

I worked on this project using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. When working on this project I learnt a lot of new things. I learnt how to buy a domain name, I learnt about SSL and how important it is to your site making it safe and secure for visitors, I learnt how to host a website, I learnt how to link a domain and hosting bought from two different hosting company using DNS, also I learnt SEO and how it works, least I forget I also learnt about optimization and its importance. Building this website was fun but hosting it was more interesting as I got to learn and try out new things for the first time. Everything ain’t perfect with the site but a wise man once said to me “HOST IT UGLY BUT HOST IT! QUIT PROCASTINATING!!” and that prompt this brave step…

My journey in Tech as a Female Web Developer hasn’t been easy but it’s filled with so much progress and growth and it fills my heart with so much joy and accomplishment. I get super excited when I learn something new it gives me this feeling I can’t explain. To my fellow junior Web Devs….. Learn from Dev.to, Learn from Instagram, Learn from Stack Overflow, Learn from GitHub…. It pays…. But most especially, learn from Senior Developers…. I am so grateful for having such a wonderful boss and an amazing college who are part of my progress so far. You guys are the best @justiceorogun @britinogn

Please I would love as many support and correction and contributions as possible… You all are my hero

Really enjoyed your article, I know what it was like creating your own personal website but I am glad you didn't let any setbacks prevented you from achieving your goal. Your website looks great and I really liked the design of Ranch House. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for pointing that out... Actually it's still a project in progress and hosting it would boost my confidence. It still need a lot of work :)
