A LOT has happened recently that made me decide I wanted to centre my #100DaysOfCode project around #antiracism. My plan is to create an interactive online resource/database that highlights community organisers & resources in the UK. Wish me luck

Day 1 of #100DaysOfCode
Created a rough draft of my structure & created the skeleton of a website with various pages on GitHub using HTML & CSS
Didn't get as much done as I wanted but hopefully tomorrow I can power through and create something worth showing

Day 2 of #100DaysOfCode
Sooooo.....I ended up going back and scrapping my entire skeleton to start from 0 again
There's a slight chance I can't see the wood for the trees but I just keep telling myself if my foundation is strong everything else will fall into place more easily

Finally getting somewhere with the website pages
also used the day to refine my Bootstrap skills and do some really simple coding exercises to help myself feel less anxious #CodeNewbie #WomenWhoCode

Day 4 of #100DaysOfCode
Didn't feel great today so I kept coding to a minimum (I did create a rough form though- will edit tomorrow) & started collecting more resources to highlight. It's a heavy project I feel a strong emotional attachment to so I'm taking it a little slower

Day 5 of #100DaysOfCode
Redid my mock-up for my project (themed around anti-racism work in the UK) & added a few things. I've narrowed my original design down to 4 pages, 3 will be relatively simple (the design & the coding process), the final page is what I'm worried about

Day 6 of #100DaysOfCode
Fiddled around with HTML & CSS for my website but I wasn't feeling great today so I didn't push myself super hard.
Does anyone else get migraines when they code? If you do, how do you deal with it? #WomenWhoCode #CodeNewbie

Does anyone else feel like they'd be further ahead than they currently are?
I know the only thing to do is stick with it (& I am) but maintaining motivation is so difficult when you're teaching yourself

I bought two domains...I don't know why I think I just got excited.
Am I already becoming a domain hoarder? Is there a support group I can join down the line?

Day 52 of #100DaysOfCode
A friend of mine runs a construction business & asked me to create a mock-up for a landing page
Not responsive (yet) but I'm into it so far!
(Icons are from a free library I tried making them via CSS but it was awful)

When a project isn't going the way you wanted & nothing seems to fix the issue, how do you motivate yourself to carry on with it?

I had a goal with 100 Days and although there's a snowball's chance in hell that I'll reach it, all I can really do is just keep chugging along hoping for the best

......yeah I dropped the ball on this one
started it with a very clear goal in mind but just got a bit (a lot) lost along the way.
It's fine though I'll just keep building up my skill set and when I do this again I'll be able to knuckle down

So on the bright side I know a lot more about coding & programming than I did at the start.
Unfortunately I don't know enough (yet!) to properly execute the project I started this account & this thread for. Disappointed in myself but we move
