blog posts guide

1. scrollbox

i made a super low effort format for my blog entries. i honestly just wanted it to be a super simple scrollable box with all of my entries being in one general place. CSS to do this, i created an all encompassing <div class> that had the styling property of overflow.

fyi, i also added a <div class> within the scrollbox class that would handle the padding but TBH i'm not sure... i needed to make an entire class for that LOL REFERENCES - scroll box

2. date & time

HTML ok honestly i just used a <p> element and made it bold....

3. images (optional)

HTML i don't always attach an image to my entries but when i want to, i use this <div class> that sits below my date & time. i style it with an <img class> that i created and add an <alt text> too to make it more accessible!

CSS this is what the <img class> looks like. i like my images centered and on their own "line."

4. status

HTML again, another <div class> specifically made for the status. i just made the font size smaller to visually differentiate it from the actual entry itself.

5. blog entry text

HTML my blog entries are simply typed up between <p> tags and i use <br> to start a new line... it literally just looks like this LOL....

THAT'S ALL...>!!!!!! :)

website guide

1. general page layout

HTML in order to establish where i want all of my blog's content to lie, i created a <div class> specifically to store it all.

CSS the styling for it is pretty simple! just setting a max-width to limit the size of everything that will be in it and also centering the page with the margin.

2. sidebar

HTML my sidebar just comprises of a heading tag and navigation links.

CSS this is all personal taste aside from the fixed position

REFERENCES - fixed sidebar - responsive sidebar

3. main content

HTML because everything is stored in the <div class="content">, the sidebar and the page contents are limited to the constraints of the it.

that is all pt. 2...... bless <3
