Figuring out how to use REST APIs is harder than I thought. I wanted to keep a blog to have a record of how this process was going, but I didn't want to use VS Code for every post and I wanted to get a better understanding of API integration. Keeping a blog at Blogger.com and using their API to keep my website's main page updated with my most recent posts seemed like a no brainer. The only problem is that it has helped me to realize that I myself am a no brainer. Haha
I understand JavaScript objects and I'm familiar with JSON but, as of the time of this writing, can't for the life of me figure out how to get the JSON from the API usable further down in my script so that I can send it to the HTML page. The furthest I've gotten so far was being able to see the object in a console.log, so I know my GET or FETCH calls are working.
I'll get there eventually. This is mostly just me documenting my roadblocks on the off chance that someone else in a similar situation sees that they aren't alone. It will also be nice to be able to look back at this later on when I have a better understanding and see my personal progress and growth.
