Blog 4: Colons and Equal Signs



Today went really well! I finalized the website and its formatting. It looks great and is user-responsive, which is exactly what  hoped for when I started this project!

Even though the site is finished now, I did run into a small road bump earlier today.

That was me a few hours ago.

This seal is better at dealing
with colons than I am.
When I was putting links onto my website, I found that a specific portion of the links weren't working! At all. I couldn't do anything to make them work, and oh did I try. I changed parts of the CSS; I changed parts of the HTML. The links didn't work. This went on for about an hour, and I had figured out that the issue was with the HTML, and not the CSS, since the unstyled HTML's page didn't have working links. I kept messing with it, and when I looked at the other links that were working I found a surprise (not really a surprise. since it was awful). I had accidentally used colons (:) instead of equal signs (=) for defining the hyperlinks. Mistakes like that kill so much time, since I don't expect myself to make them.
I had been using colons for the CSS so I must have used them accidentally in the HTML as well. Oh well. It's fixed now. Frankly, it's "done" now.
