Alright folks, let me tell you about my “sincerely tommy” adventure. I’m calling it that because, well, it felt like I was just being myself, messing around and seeing what happens.
It all started last week. I was bored, you know? Just scrolling through the internet, not really looking for anything. Then I stumbled upon this blog post about some cool CSS trick. I thought, “Hey, I could try that!”
So, I fired up my code editor. Now, I’m no expert, mind you. I mostly just hack things together until they work. But that’s half the fun, right?
First, I created a basic HTML file. Nothing fancy, just a header, a paragraph, and maybe a button. Then, I started playing with the CSS. I copied the code from the blog post, pasted it into my stylesheet, and… nothing. It looked terrible.
Okay, that’s fine. That’s how it always goes. I started tweaking things. I changed the colors, adjusted the margins, messed with the fonts. It still looked awful.
But here’s the thing: I wasn’t giving up. I was actually enjoying myself. It was like solving a puzzle, only the puzzle pieces kept changing shape.
I spent the next few hours just experimenting. I tried different CSS properties I didn’t even know existed. I Googled a bunch of stuff. I even watched a YouTube tutorial or two (don’t tell anyone!).
Slowly but surely, things started to come together. The colors looked better. The layout was more pleasing. The button actually did something when you clicked it.
I even added some JavaScript, because why not? I wanted to make the button change color when you hovered over it. It took me a while to figure out, but I got it working eventually.
And then, finally, it was done. My little “sincerely tommy” project was complete. It wasn’t perfect, by any means. But it was mine. I had built it from scratch, and I had learned a ton in the process.
Here’s what I learned:
- Don’t be afraid to experiment. Just try things, even if you don’t know what you’re doing.
- Google is your friend. Seriously, you can find the answer to almost anything online.
- Don’t give up. If something doesn’t work the first time, try again. And again. And again.
- It’s okay to ask for help. There are tons of people out there who are willing to share their knowledge.
- Most importantly, have fun! If you’re not enjoying yourself, what’s the point?
So, yeah, that’s my “sincerely tommy” story. It’s just a small thing, but it reminds me that anyone can learn to code, as long as they’re willing to put in the effort. And maybe, just maybe, have a little bit of fun along the way.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go find another CSS trick to try…
