What's New At BWT

This is a test. Am attempting to write a new Menu for the website. For this project I will be using EasyBlogs as my HTML editor, Solo Build it as my website host and Visual Studio as my code editer.

To accomplish this wonderous feat I applied all my software tools and programming skills. Wasn't sure I could just pick it up after so much time off. However, mission accomplished. In retrospect I can identify several website tips from today's Coding session.

  1. Never start from scratch. From a programming standpoint most of the code you seek has already been written. It truly is rare to come up with totally original coding. That known, a new piece of coding can probably be assembled quicker from existing chunks, than writing it from scratch. Like the above menu. I had the basic structure already built. So I copied and pasted that into a new file and started making changes.
  2. Change is good. Keeping up with the times is essential to future success. If you keep doing what you did, you will keep getting what you already got. Adding new styles and techniques to a website makes it fresh and more user friendly. Like this new menu, it is more appealing yet smaller and faster, than the previous menu.
  3. Why debuggers get extra time Creativity doesn't happen all at once. It is a process. When coding you start with a basic structure. (like this menu) and then build on that.New ideas require a little extra time to hash out. Hence programmers call that "debug time." If you don't plan in debug time into your projects, you get the same old thing you got the last time.
  4. don't settle for mediocre work It is okay to set deadlines for project completion. However it is unwise to rush to a mediocre conclusion. Better to keep it simple and then improve to perfection in the time alotted. Like this menu. I wanted a menu that was pretty, browser responsive and functional. So, I used CSS3 to genterate the backgroounds as opposed to the image backgrounds I had.

I used Solo Build It to host this website. If you want to learn how to do this yourself. Get SBI! I did it the hard way but you can do it easily with the tools of Solo Build It!...
