So, how long did this blog actually take?
The answer is less clear than you would think.
I haven’t been counting, but if I really had to guess, it takes approximately 1-2 hours for maintenance, which is something I do every week, and takes 3-5 hours to make a single blog post.
Why is this?
Well… my code, being my first code, is a little over one thousand lines. Four hundred ish lines of CSS and six hundred ish lines of html.
Also, I keep my CSS and html in the same place.
With the mods I have on Hostinger (my website hoster), its simply easier for maintenance if its all the same.
I remember for 3 days of maintenance, after my May 15th blog, the hot pink was completely broken.
Why was this?
Well, in my coding, here’s how I lay out my colors;
–main-pink: #ff66c4;
–light-pink: #ffcce6;
–hot-pink: #ff1493;
–pastel-pink: #ffd1dc;
–kawaii-yellow: #ffef7e;
–soft-purple: #fffff;
–y2k-blue: #66CCFF;
–y2k-purple: #FFFFFF;
Did you see those two dashes before each color? (you cant because thats how html works but whatever…)
Yeah. THAT’S what broke my code.
Prior to my May 15th blog I had done some usual maintenance, and I guess I had deleted a dash… it took me one and half hours of back and forth checking to see why my blogs had been broken!
It was horrible! I literally almost started crying…

But you may have the question; how do I handle school? (And have a constant 4.0 for that matter)
Well…. I have a LOT of free time.
How else do you think I manage a hand done blog?
I know there are thousands of online blogs, but this is my first one, let alone my first ever coding project!!!
I’m actually writing this at 21:54.
Coding gives me time where I can stare at my computer for hours, writing, reading crying, and actually have an outcome that other’s can relish in.
I don’t have a lot of control in my day to day life, the most control I have is my clothing and makeup.
Interacting with the community is difficult.
However, when I code, I am the God of my creation, the God of something with an actual physical form.
If you struggle with anger from loss of control, coding has been my zen.

ps: this blog’s maintenance took about 2 hours because of formatting issues. Also when you click on this blog it takes you to img flip and im too lazy to fix that rn
