Database: I have structured a database to allow posts so that I don't have to edit pages of HTML. This is currently functioning (Yay!) and will continue to be updated as my needs change.
This is the first in a short series of blog posts of things I've completed, with a short explanation of why I've done it. This is mostly to give me some posts to work with. Suss out bootstrap : bootstrap is a framework developed by Twitter, useful for developing responsive websites with a mobile first focus. As this is essentially starting off with someone else's CSS, implementing it has undermined some of my aim of doing it all myself. But, with so many differnt devices out there to access the web, it seemed a stupid waste of time to develop this all myself at this point. I had to start somewhere, after all. Maybe, one day, I'll reach a point where I want to re-do this myself, but for now, this will do.
This is my to do list for the site - for jobs big and small that come to me when I don't have time to implement them, and to remind me of things to get on with when I might otherwise go on Reddit.
