✧･ﾟ: Customize your highlight color! :･ﾟ✧

I recently came across a blog where when I went to highlight some text I noticed it was a unique color!!! (」°ロ°)」

AND IT'S SO SIMPLE TO DO

all you do is go to your css file and add this:

::selection { background: <hexcolor> }

Enjoy!! ♡⸜(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)⸝♡

I learnt the 'vw' unit in CSS~!

% and rem/em units weren't working properly for the responsiveness so I search online for other units I could use and I came across vw and now I'm satisfied! Scales semi-smoothly~! 😏

Using vw means the font size is directly proportional to the width of the viewport.

You don't need to worry as much about setting breakpoints for different screen sizes. The font size adjusts automatically based on the viewport.

Hope this helps other people learning CSS and working on making their site responsive! I used the vw unit on the font-size, padding height and width of the elements! Might need to add it to the box-shadow property too? 🤔💭

Convert HTML to Image: A Step-by-Step Guide ✨

Do you want to turn some HTML code you've made that's on your website and have a way to convert it into an image for you to save?

Well, look no further! I too wanted to do the same thing but funny enough, there weren't any straightforward tutorials out there that could show you how! After hours of searching, I finally discovered the solution~!

This is an old tutorial I made 🐼

💛 Set your environment

Before we dive into the conversion process, I'll assume you already have your HTML code ready. What you want to learn is how to turn it into an image file. You should have a good grasp of HTML and JavaScript. For this tutorial, we'll use the following HTML code example:

We won't include the CSS code, as it doesn't affect this tutorial. The JavaScript file (script.js) at the bottom of the body element is where we'll add the functionality for the conversion.

Your page should resemble the following:

As you can see, the "Click me" button will handle the conversion. We aim to convert everything within the div.info-div into an image.

💛 Using the html2canvas JavaScript Library

The html2canvas library allows you to take screenshots of webpages and target specific elements on a screen. Here are the steps to include the library in your project:

The steps to put the library in your project:

Visit the html2canvas website for more information.

Copy the CDN link from here

and include it in a script tag in your project's head tag in the HTML file:

That's it for including the library on the HTML side. Now, let's move on to the JavaScript code.

💛 JavaScript Functionality

Here's the JavaScript code to handle the conversion:

In this code, I want to turn the whole div.info-div into an image, I put it into a variable in const div = document.querySelector(".info-div");.

I also put the button into a variable in const button = document.querySelector("button");

I added a click event listener to the button so when the user clicks the button, it will follow the code inside of the event listener!

You can find similar code like this in the documentation of the html2canvas library:

What is happening here is:

We add the div (or what the element we want to take an image of) into the html2canvas([element]).then((canvas)

Added the image file type url to a variable = const imageDataURL = canvas.toDataURL("image/png"); - You can replace the png to other image file types such as jpg, jpeg etc

Created an anchor/link tag, added the href attribute to imageDataURL

The download attribute is where we will give the default name to the image file, I added "dog.png"

Perform the click() function to the anchor tag so it starts to download the image we created

And that's it!

💛 The End

And that's it! You've successfully learned how to turn your HTML into an image. It's a great way to save and share your web content in a unique format.

If you have any questions or need further clarification, please comfortable to ask. Enjoy converting your HTML into images! 💖🐼

Websites to practice Front-End

(22/02/2023)

Today I wanted to share websites to practice your frontend skills.

Front-end is complicated for my head (ask me to solve an algorithm with structure while but not to center a div HUEHHUE).

BUT at the same time I love a well done and coded design/ui. That's why today I want to share resources to help you train

1- Front-End Practice

They have 3 levels, beginner, intermediate and advanced. There's no "answer" so you can't copy the code, it's just you trial and error until you get to the template (which really is a website that exists)

One thing I thought was really cool here was that it tells you what you're going to practice the most in the exercise, color palette and search features.

It's very interesting for a front-end not to be dependent on a tutorial, because from what I've seen in interviews, they ask you to make a layout and you won't be able to make one yourself if you don't learn to break down a single layout from the beginning and try and making mistakes until it's perfect.

2- DevChallenges

I find the projects not only beautiful visually but also interesting to practice. Here you already have the solutions that other people recommend, but again I think it's best for us to try and make mistakes until we get similar.And it also sorts the levels.

Here an example:

Cool huh? Well, I hope this helps someone who is looking for projects to practice with. We can invest a lot of time trying to make a layout, so having something ready I know helps a lot.

I wish you good studies and a great Wednesday, drink water.

the things we do for fics, I swear. I spent probably about 20 hours in the last month learning all about CSS and the limitations of text hover boxes and how they're not responsive unless you're in Java and now I have all this random, highly-specific knowledge about CSS tooltips floating around in my brain. I was a history major and I write smut for fun, like what am I doing here

HOW TO ADD LINKS TO YOUR BIO 

Paste the above code into your bio, replacing the link section with the full link and the text section with your desired text. Be sure not to leave a space when copying over.  

If it's breaking, or you're lost, check this post here.

*note: these links will only appear in your mobile/automatic theme. if you have a desktop theme with a custom description this method will still work.

Today was a decently normal Monday. My teachers informed me today that I might be getting an essay I completed a while ago and getting my science test results back soon.

After school, I tried to start the home page of the website I'm currently building Project.Spider and I would like to say that thanks to the help of Bing AI, ChatGPT and Visual Studio Code, I could finish one part.

HTML & CSS Comment Tips

One valuable thing I have learned when starting any project is to include comments on your pages to provide a more structured layout.

For example, in HTML files, comments can be made with <!-- --->; anything within that space won’t appear on the page or be read by the browser.

A good way to use this in a page is to outline your areas, like in the image below.

Anywhere on your pages where you have a new section, you should use comments to outline what they are. This helps in a few ways. First, it increases readability for yourself and anyone else reading your code. Second, as your projects grow, doing this helps keep them organized. 

It’s easier to add to and edit when you can find the area where you want to make changes or add classes based on the comment tags rather than trying to narrow it down through many <div> tags. Third, it helps with remembering what you were doing.

The same principles apply to CSS files, although comments are left in a CSS file type with /*     */.

Using comments to outline the different style groups you intend to use in your projects can help you find the parts you want to edit. In general, using comments is something everyone should do. They are very helpful in JavaScript and other languages when making notes about what a function does or should be doing. You can also leave yourself notes about what you were working on.

The History of Ecommerce: 1979 to 2023

It was interesting writing about this topic and seeing the evolution of ecommerce. So many of what we consider as basics in ecommerce now required a lot of innovation from the early businesses that adopted it.
