A Day of SEO, Skill Building, and Fine-Tuning My Website
3/25/20242 min read
Today has been a productive day of enhancing my website's visibility and functionality. I've taken strides to improve its accessibility on Google while also honing my skills in web development. Here's a glimpse into my day:
SEO Enhancements: I dedicated a portion of my day to enhancing the search engine optimization (SEO) of my website. By optimizing keywords, improving meta descriptions, and enhancing site structure, I aim to make my website more accessible to users searching for relevant content on Google.
Adsense Integration: In addition to SEO improvements, I've been laying the groundwork for integrating Adsense into my website. While this step will come later, I'm excited about the potential to generate revenue and further expand my online presence.
Freecodecamp Training: Continuing my journey of self-improvement, I spent time on Freecodecamp.com refining my skills in HTML and CSS. These foundational languages are crucial for building a polished website that reflects my vision and style.
Refining Website Features: As I progress with my training, I've also been focusing on refining certain features of my website. Whether it's tweaking placeholders or fine-tuning design elements, I'm committed to creating a website that truly represents me and aligns with my portfolio goals.
Enhancements in the Pipeline: In the next week or two, I plan to make some adjustments to the homepage of my website. Currently, the font used on the home page is temporary, and the logo in the top left corner is merely a placeholder. I intend to replace the font with a more suitable one and add shadows to certain texts to ensure better consistency throughout the website.
Additionally, I'm considering changing the background image from a car to something more neutral. The current image gives off the impression of a photography website rather than a portfolio, which doesn't align with my vision. By opting for a more neutral background, I aim to convey a clearer message about the purpose and content of my portfolio.
Furthermore, I'm intrigued by the idea of incorporating a subtle spotlight effect. I envision a gentle illumination that highlights the text without being overtly visible. This subtle touch could add a cool and modern aesthetic to the website, enhancing the overall user experience.
These changes and effects will probably take more than 2 weeks since I wouldn't know where to start. But hey, that's the whole point of learning something new, setting yourself some challenges, and objectives.
