Forum Thread

I've decided to create a journal based on creating my website. I thought it would help me keep track of things.

So far I found out I will need to learn JavaScript codes in order to create the site. Being limited on time, information and money I am certain that the progress of the site will likely be slow. I'm unable to use any premade scripts so I'm starting from scratch, I don't feel confident in that. For the sprites of the site I have no artists. My experience is basic html codes.

Title: Plans: 1

Instead of going with a basic drop down menus ice decided on a tabbed navigation. I thought it would it would be easier and something new from menus. I'm hoping instead of doing forums as a way of group communication I'll do something that is similar to Facebook and Ovipets. I'll be starting on it Monday. Here's what I had in mind...

Title: Day Three

Day 3 of Coding

Overview
I spent the little time I had to work on the virtual pet site creating the tabbed navigation. It was rather frustrating seeing as though I couldn't find a site that made it easily understandable to were the css code went or had script (which I didn't have to download) to give something to learn from, but with only seconds to spare to leave I finally got a script. Tomorrow I'll be able to play around with the script and figure out different things. My goal is to have the tabbed navigation style done before Wednesday.. This is because I need to use that time trying to make the user's page, as for right now I don't even know what codes are needed for this.

This Weeks Pacing Guide
Tues: Tabbed Navigation Style
Wen-Friday: Codes for accounts and profiles.

Things to be considered
-Website colors
-User Tab Layout: Information tabs
1.) list
2.) horizontal
3.) vertical.
-Tabs:
1.) User, Home, Farm, Town
2.) User, Home, Farm, Trade, Battle, Quests.
-Pet Layout
-Pokemon or original animals

Today's Conclusion
Although it was rather frustrating, which is rare for me sense I usually love working through these issues, I feel like I made a big leap towards the layout. It sounds rather stupid to think that seeing as though I have only managed to get the script for tab navigation and still haven't styled it that I feel happy but it makes me feel confident. Then there is the fact of choosing colors.
