  1. Ask the main part of your question in the title. This should be concise but informative.

  2. Provide everything up front. Don't make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.

  3. Be present for follow up questions. Don't ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.

  4. Ask about the problem you're trying to solve. Don't focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/

Trying to learn website development by developing my own from scratch. (habitant5830.github.io)

I am learning website development on my own by developing a website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Currently there is no JavaScript used, as I am still developing and learning new things related to HTML and CSS. I am just at the beginning stage.

Actually, this is very interesting, as I am not learning a pre-designed textbook or YouTube videos. I am actively building a website and learning from it.

I already used HTML templates and Hugo and Zola, like static website generators. So writing code was never harder, but implementing features or arranging screen space is a big pain.

I know the site looks a lot uglier, but before it was more ugly and misaligned than this. At least I managed to make it like this.

Note:

The posts and contents on this website are converted from my Hugo site, which used Markdown format. The site link is provided at the footer, and the code is also on GitHub. The images are from Unsplash and Pixel sources.

Huh, I didn't know about the header, aside and main html tags for use within the body, I should use them on my own site.

One thing I would recommend is using smaller images for the sidebar links, the one for your "DNS The Internet phonebook" is 1.68mb, a whopping 5520x3673 image! Thumbnails don't need to be 4k resolution, 300x300 or similar ought to suffice

Btw, the link for DNS is redirecting to the Encryption piece

I used 4k because in every screen, thumbnails look clear. I too noticed the website loads too slowly. I will fix it and verify all links working correct. Thank you.

(Update: Fixed)
