    Yesterday I made my name card and put my website on the internet. Today I finally decided the theme of my website - Diary of Wimpy Kid. The home page will have three characters, each linking to a certain part of my website. Right now I am trying to figure out all the features and commands of HTML.

    Today I worked on the jumpscare project. We started learning JavaScript and some of its functions, such Event Listeners. This jumpscare project has given me some extra practice with making divs and giving them attributes in CSS. I also learned how to make divs links and put divs within divs.

    Today I made my website more coherent. I did this by making the links to my projects on my projects page as Diary of A Wimpy Kid Characters, similar to my home page. I am planning to have many characters for the many projects that I make this year.

    Today I finished making my clock. To complete the project, I had to learn how to write functions in JavaScript so that the image consistantly duplicates in a set interval. To make it count time, I assigned an increasing variable labelling the number of images.

    Today we worked on if-then and else statements. Coding them is similar to coding functions. You enter an input in the if statement, and if the input is true, it runs what you tell it to run. Similarly, the code will run something else under the if else code if something else is true (or it's false).

    Today I am working on uploading three more projects to the projects page on my website, including the audio, colors, and clock projects. To do that, I need to make divs with images of new Diary of a Wimpy characters with each being links to a project.

    Today we worked on the "slotmachine" project. I coded four divs, three of which were the same. The other div acted as the "handle" of the machine. I had to make an event listener of click for the handle. When clicked, a random color appeared in each of the three divs. I did this using math.random and using the result to correlate to a color of a list. This project also inolve "if-then" statements because of the way scoring worked.

    Today I finished the confetti code for my valentines day project. Making the confetti required things like for-loops, functions, and event listeners. I made the confetti so it goes diagonally across the screen. There is a heart in the center of the screen that is a link to another page, which has a photo of my mom and I surrounding by a heart. I also added the confetti/valentines project to the projects page of my project.

    Today Molly gave a lecture addressing students' questions. We went deeper into for loops and learned a method of creating divs instantaneously but being easily able to assign values to individual divs. Now we understand how Molly made the team page of the website.

    Today we dedicated the class towards revamping our websites. I have been thinking how to make my home page more intersting since right now I just have an image. I am also considering if I should put captions benath the pictures in the home and projects page to indicate where the link goes to, but I want to have it so the user doesnt know, making them explore the website.
