I began to edit the code on an existing theme for Cargo. What really annoys me about it is that you cannot see the existing HTML or edit it - you can only add more html. Which makes it hard for me to get rid of elements and see what is already there.
Anyway, I started by changing colours, fonts and adding some content and links in there.
I made the caption bold and text regular
I stripped it right down to fit my design and made a container which creates two columns as there is a 50% width and floats left
I added a small caption to each bit of text and I've reached the design I came up with months ago on the top half- just need to add the photos of underneath now.
I realised that I should add my name to the nav because when you are on my work page you won't be able to see it anywhere
This was harder said than done, since it wants everything on the nav to be a link, and I can't figure out how to add something within the nav container on the html since I can't see the existing html!!!
Here is some of the CSS that I added..
I had been editing the HTML and CSS on the main 'feed' page, and I actually realised that this meant all of the content I had added featured on all of the pages. Therefore,
I decided to start again by creating a page for the home page, and setting the display options to start on that page.
I actually had some trouble creating two columns when I did this, and it took me a while to correct it. I had to create two separate css styles for the columns in the end, whereas previously I only used one.
I also realised just by changing the width % I could have the columns underneath each other if I want - I still haven't decided how much content to include on the home page.
Here is the HTML, showing the two container classes and how I've turned the email address into a link.
