My name is Berenice Martinez. For this assignment, I created a biography using syntax from the "Mastering Markdown" guide. First, I created a header called "About Me" and bolded it by using 2 hashtags and About Me. I used 2 hashtags because hw01 already had one hashtag, indicating that it was the first header, making "About Me" the second header. I then included an image of myself by copying and pasting an image into the repo folder. I then used the guide to find the image syntax and linked my image using the syntax, placing the path of the image in the parenthesis with jpg and a description of the image in the brackets. I then proceeded to write information about myself. Once I got to my hobbies, I decided I wanted to list and italicize them in order to place emphasis on them. I did this by looking at the guide and using the list syntax, format, and then the italics syntax, format*. I then decided to link some of my youtube videos that I have been watching on repeat by using the link syntax in the guide, including the url and a description of the link that will be clicked on. After that, I decided to write another header titled "Fun Facts" and bold it by using 3 hashtags and Fun Facts. Afterwards, I proceeded to write information about myself and included an image from my study abroad experience in Oaxaca using the image syntax, placing the path of the image in the parentheses and a phrase that explains what it is in the brackets. After that I previewed the assignment using the preview button and then satisfied, went on to push and pull.
The assignment was easy in some respects and difficult in others. I was having difficulty creating a list although I was using the list syntax. I realized after several attempts of reformatting, the issue was due to the fact that there was no space between the previous line and the start of the list, causing the list to not work. After pressing enter to create that space, I previewed the document again and noticed that the list indeed worked. I also messed up with creating headers by not including the space. I realized that Markdown is indeed very tedious and everything has to be perfect- no space errors, in order for the code to work. I was thankful that I had the "Mastering Markdowns" guide provided by GitHub otherwise I probably would have struggled a lot more. It made it easy to know how to italicize, bold, and link urls and images. For the images, I decided to copy and place it into the repo in order to avoid having to write down the full path and by doing this, I was able to easily write the relative path of the jpg file. I did not have problems utilizing the other syntaxes, which made everything else pretty easy. Overall, I was very nervous when I began this assignment, but now I feel that I have the basics down. I followed the video for the GitHub workflow and I had no issues that sprung up. I noticed that forking, pushing, and pulling is also not that difficult and it will just take practice for me to get used to it. The video that the Professor provided made it easier to understand what each of these were used for and the purpose behind them. I am thankful for that because I felt overwhelmed looking at the assignment, but now I feel much better about it all.
