My blog is live! I may have been a little too overenthusiastic during my last post. As it turns out, I hadn't quite cracked the code (low quality pun intended) on the Blogger API just yet. I could get it to work in CodePen, the site I use to work on this during my free time at work, but couldn't get it to work once it was deployed. I ended up rewriting it to avoid pulling the Google API JavaScript module and now it works just fine!
Now I need to work on making this place a little prettier. I like the backgrounds I put on this blog section, especially how they run into the graphic on the side of the screen, but everything looks a little... I don't know. Empty? Unfinished? Unpolished for sure. I'm trying to cut myself some slack, since I only started learning how to do all of this a few weeks ago, but I hate making something that isn't perfect.
I need ideas. Maybe I should include the comment section in these blog posts so that the, like, one person that reads this can give me suggestions. I did make something using the PoetryDB API to display a random three line poem. Maybe I'll stuff that into a footer or something. It can be seen here if anyone is interested.
