Blog HomeSome Last Minute Changes
June 29, 2019 | Categories: DevelopmentGahhh, I'm so close to publishing this website but there are still just a few things I want to care of before sending it out for the world to see. The most important of which is probably cleaning up all of my code. Don't get me wrong, it's not in a bad state by any means. But I just need to go through all of my files (especially my HTML templates!) and make sure that everything is concise, pret...

June 23, 2019 | Categories: DevelopmentIn today's development news, we're working with adding text animations to the home page. As I see it now, I'd like for the user to enter my site through a home page that features only my navbar and the stunning backdrop of Mt. Elbert in all its snowy glory.
