How I built this site

This site uses three different types of content.

Calculations in Javascript

I built a couple of different programs in Javascript. I learned how to make them from Code Academy. I used playcode.io to troubleshoot and understand how to make the Javascript run in HTML. Then I copied the code onto this site. 

• The Fibonacci calculator and the Magic 8 Ball are embedded directly in HTML.
• The Kelvin page uses the Code Embed plugin,  which puts the Javascript in a separate field that you call with a shortcode. In a way it’s like turning the Javascript into a variable that you call.

WordPress plugins

Creating number features with WordPress plugins takes less work and less time. It allows me to focus on the important things, like going over the wonderful lessons I’ve been assigned!  The pages on this site built with WordPress plugins are:

• The Money Manager page uses the Money Manager plugin. I set up the Money Manager plugin to keep track of my allowance. This seemed like the quickest and easiest way to keep track.
• The Solitaire game uses the Solitaire Card Game plugin. I added it simply because I like Solitaire. 

Static content

Some of the pages on this site are just static content, which means that they are not interactive. I built the static pages of the site in WordPress, and I tweaked some of the HTML. I introduced visual content like my Rick roll video and cartoons by embedding them on my site. I created my logo in Canva and saved it as an animated GIF.
