ok so i just made my first website and im kinda proud??

so hey everyone!! im 16 and ive been trying to learn web dev for like 2 months now and i finally made something that actually works lol

basically i followed a youtube tutorial to make a portfolio site and then i went completely off script and added my own stuff. its not perfect AT ALL but like... it loads?? and the css doesnt look totally broken anymore??

html is actually not that hard

like once you understand that everything is just boxes inside boxes it kinda clicks. divs are literally just containers. i spent way too long not understanding that lmao

<div class="container">
  <div class="card">
    <h2>my project</h2>
    <p>it does stuff!!</p>
  </div>
</div>

css on the other hand...

bro. CSS is actually insane. i spent 3 hours trying to center a div. THREE HOURS. then someone told me about flexbox and my mind was blown

.container {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}

like THATS IT?? why didnt anyone tell me this sooner

javascript is where it gets real

im just starting with JS and its cool but also confusing. like why does "2" + 2 equal "22"?? that cant be right but apparently it is lol

anyway im gonna keep learning and posting my progress here. if anyone has tips for a beginner pleeease drop them in the comments

thanks for reading this far ur awesome
