Hey, for those who are still looking out for my HTML/CSS tutorial and lesson posts, I have some updates for you all!
[And quick apologies if the banner made you hopeful that this is my next lesson. I am putting it there because it’ll be an important in-between with my series.]
For a while (about a year), I’ve already been considering backing up these posts on my own future website and continuing the lessons/tutorials there. With current news I’ve been seeing about tumblr not being reliable storage, this might be a good time to discuss what I plan on doing with my series and what I’ll improve for its format when I manage to fully transfer it to my website.
A few things to expect for my planned transfer/backup of my lessons...
Title Change: First and foremost, the series will have a different name once it’s on my personal website. I tend to use a universal online alias, so I intend on changing the “Fluffy Teaches” to something else upon transfer! (I’m not anonymous on this blog anymore as of last summer, afterall...)
Layout Upgrades: With tumblr posts, you’re very limited in how everything can look, and can’t do much in an efficient, time-saving manner. You can do a lot more with custom pages on your blog, but from what I’ve noticed, my own textboxes on the page for my lessons get a little messed up easily as they conflict with tumblr’s default code. When I’m putting this on my own website, though? I have SO MUCH creative freedom! I already have some concept designs planned for the lessons, and I hope these designs make the lessons more appealing (hopefully) and interactive for you all!
Important Mistake Fixes: Okay, I want need to fix a few errors I made in my lessons absent-mindedly. I can’t stand leaving them there when I look back on them; but if I’m going to put time into transferring my series onto my website.... I’ll fix all those mistakes and errors upon transfer. Will the fixes show here? Yeah, I’ll do that too. I just plan to focus on this transfer process first, so hang in there!
Higher Quality Images: The obvious change here is that the images for my lessons will be higher quality. This is because on my blog, most/all of the images I use tend to get blurred and lowered in their crisp-ness. So, expect ‘em to truly be crisp when they’re on my website!
About my future website: This is a project I was working on until I was more busy with my final year in high school waaay back in 2013 (I think?). The stress of that final year screwed up my emotional health and tossed me into a major anxiety rut that lasted until late last year. I’m a lot better now thanks to therapy and my strong will for recovery alone, so I’m trying to get back to work on this website during the course of this year!
The main/general layout for it is also rather old, so I do have some of my old messy code to work with. However, I’m only going with this for now as I’ve yet to plan a new layout and don’t want to spend way more time redoing my site from scratch.
How I’ll get it hosted? Well, I’m hoping I can find an affordable domain service that’s still good quality and has good security, etc. Idk how common that is yet, as I have to research this more and look for reviews, but I am keeping huge mental note on it.
I’ll also try and find some way to get support for my website on the side. I may research Paypal’s donation services and make sure I don’t accidentally do something illegal with their service. Another thing I’ve been trying to look into is Patreon, but I haven’t figured out a satisfying system for it that I believe will be encouraging and rewarding for whoever decides to pitch in their support.
(Keep in mind, that if I DO use donation-like methods to ensure better financial health for my future website, I wouldn’t want anyone feeling guilty for not pitching in! If you can’t pitch in, don’t. If you don’t want to pitch in, don’t feel obligated either! It’s merely an option. Not a requirement.)
Anyhow, my first goal is to make sure my website is actually complete and ready for hosting at all. Transferring my lessons to it will be part of that completion process.
Thank you for your time to read this, if you read through it at all!
