The time has final-ly come (see what I did there?) For my final project, I decided to do a portfolio-esque website. I wanted to create a space where all of my different passions, career paths, and interests could coexist together.
Accessability
I have quite a few photos on my website! For each photo, I’ve attached alternative text. I have no audio elements of my own, except for links to podcasts and videos that already exist. For everything that I’ve linked, the link has descriptive text so that you know what it will bring you to.
Media Credit
Again, a lot of photos on my website. Everything was taken by me unless explicitly stated otherwise (I think there is only one instance of that).
Copyright
I’m going to be so real and honest, I chose the All rights reserved copyright just because from my POV it feels the most secure and legit (most people know what it is whereas I can’t say the same for Creative Commons), but when I input it in my WordPress it doesn’t actually show up? It could just be my view on my laptop I’m not sure. I’ll attach a screenshot of what it looks like on my end so that you see that I had the intention lol.
When I edit it in the left bar and publish it, its supposed to change what shows up at the very bottom of the left panel, but it didn’t, AND I can’t even see the copyright when I open my website. Again, could be how it shows up on my laptop, but I’m not sure. I scoured the internet for answers with no luck. Sigh. Anyways.
My Process!
Before even choosing my theme, I made an outline (more like a brain dump) of everything that I wanted to include in my website. Sections, subsections, pictures, descriptions. Once I dumped my brain, I went onto WordPress and searched for a simple and clean looking template. Once I found one, I committed to it. My theme is “Tamal Portfolio.” The process was rather simple; I feel that the most taxing part was spending time on organizing and reorganizing content. For my photography portfolio, I got really annoyed because I was using the gallery block so that my photos would be displayed in a grid-like configuration, but when I published, on my website they would just be in a long, left-justified line. So, I just decided to make them big images that you can scroll through. I also last minute made a page for pretty coffees, which I am happy about. I added a contact form through WP7 Forms, which was rather painless.
Here She Is!
Without further adieu…
