Amazing website! #2

Open gaelbergeron opened 9 years ago

Hey Julia, I just went through your website, it's beautiful! The index page looks great and your blog posts are as thorough as they get, I really enjoyed the read! If I may suggest, I noticed that your email link was not right, you need to add "mailto:" in order to get the email client fired up. Also, featuring a GitHub link would be useful.

Great job!

Hi Gael,

Thank you for the feedback! Good catch on the email link--I didn't test them. Oops.

And I do have a GitHub link, it's that little "g". But I guess it looks like a google link, huh. I was thinking that. I'll have to track down a better transparent icon for GitHub--where did you find your social icons?

While I'm replying here, I might as well leave some feedback for you. Your site looks great! The colors are very fresh, and your links work. :) The big banner image of you is also well placed, and your picture communicates that you're a serious student of web development--I love the stack of programming books in the frame!

If I were to give some advice, I'd center the cultural and technical headers on the blog page, and make the squares a tad darker so they stand out against the background. Also, I saw some typos in your blog posts--happens to me all the time, since I write them in Sublime which doesn't spell check, and it's hard to see the letters against the dark background. Your banner image is also too large for my browser window--I have this problem on my blog post pages, too. When I have the time I'm going to try to resize the background image or make it responsive to screen size or something.

That's all, have a great day!

Best wishes, Julia

Hi Gael,

I don't know if this is helpful for you, but I figured out how to get rid of the horizontal scroll on my background image by adding this CSS:

body { overflow-x: hidden; }

That did the trick for me!

AWESOME! Thank you so much, it also worked for me! I started researching it on Friday but went nowhere.

Thanks for the other pieces of advice, I'll make sure to get all the typos and also refine the blog-index page, great design recommendations. As far as the picture goes, I was hesitant to put it at first. Then I realized I shouldn't be taking myself too seriously, let's go full throttle on the book show off.

Enjoy week 3! If you don't have any pair yet for this week, let me know, I would be happy to pair with you.

Best, Gael

Also I saw that you changed your icons, your page looks better than ever! I found my icons on this website: http://goodstuffnononsense.com/ , the designer is really talented.

arcalinea commented 9 years ago

Great, I'm glad that was helpful!

Haha I also just love books. So much knowledge in one big pile.

After finishing all of week-2 stuff, I opened the bonus challenges and started playing around with icon fonts, which is where I found my new icons. They're so easy to insert, you don't even have to upload an image! Each one is just one line of html. Wow. New favorite thing.

I'm trying to get all my pairing done today, in one epic coding marathon, since I have quite a busy week. I may have found partners, but they haven't gotten back to me--are you by any chance free? It would be great to work together!

And thanks for the link to the designer icons, this guy makes such a variety! Good for future reference.

Talk soon, Julia

Hi Julia, I ended up scheduling with Scott today and later this week. Good luck with your hackathon!
