I worked on the website for most of the day on Saturday. 

It doesn't seem like a lot has changed, I know. A lot of my time spent was trying to reverse-engineer some cool stuff people have made with CSS/HTML, like glitch effects on images when you hover over them. Unfortunately, I had a really hard time figuring all of that out and it wasn't implemented at all. I guess the silver lining is that I have a better idea of what I want the final look to be? 

Part of me wants to keep it this way, like very amateur-ish, but another part of me also wants to make it really cool. 

Anyway, no actual notes for now. I will talk about some of the issues and new goals for the website though. 

SCM Music Player is a widget that I talked about in the last post that works really well on the home page. What I liked about it is that it can follow you to different pages on the main site. The downside is that there seems to be a conflict if you click on the blog link on the website. Your browser will give you a warning about not letting you go to a website that's embedded. If you open the blog in a new tab, it works fine though. 

I think what's going on is that SCM is trying to follow you to the blog component of the website which is built differently. I'm going to see if there's another option for music because the warning might discourage people from checking out the blog. 

Aside from that, there have been some graphical changes. Again, I'm still messing around with stuff so the appearance is going to change a lot. I'm not even sure if this is worth a "minor" version update. 

I did a drawing of the website on a notebook and I think I'm going to aim for something more on the tech side in terms of aesthetic. Like, maybe a HUD or something like that? My current goal for navigation on the main page is to have images that appear grayscale until you hover over them. I actually have this completed in Visual Studio, but haven't uploaded it to my host. On top of that, I want to make it glitchy or have static like a video feed and I'm wondering if I'm better off editing that in than trying to code it. 

Anyway, that's really it for now.
