Let me start fresh

Fresh start

*There is a Too long, did not read section at the bottom to save you some time ;) 

What does this mean and what is it all about?

I'm going to try and showcase, that you do not have to be a master of any sorts in either IT or Programming in general to be able to make some income from the Internet :) 

Over the course of ... ?? (No clue yet) I'm going to try and post daily at least, on my progress of trying to earn some money on my own means. One of them is obviously re-starting this blog.

As a proof, it already shows, that I've only spent around 15~ minutes just scrambling this together. All it involved was:

  • A google account for signing up
  • Couple verifications for statistics
  • "Designing" the layout of the blog
All of the above was done in roughly 10-15 minutes, "Re-designing stage" probably took the longest, and I've went with some default themes and just adjusted the colours to my liking.

Everything was done with 0 coding thus proves that anyone with 0 knowledge regarding IT or coding or anything else you might want to call it, CAN get themselves a simple "website"

What am I going to post about?

This will mainly include me posting short'ish blogposts about me trying to develop a couple websites and how I went about doing so. Keep in mind, I will try my best to keep this attempt as simplified as possible with as much detail to my decisions as I can come up with :)

Couple upcoming projects: 
  • Re-designing my template e-commerce website that never really worked out, yet I still like it as a portfolio item.
This however is hosted and done via bigcartel.com thus it costs me monthly expenses which I do want to get rid of, and do it my own way :) 
*Yes, I do recommend Bigcartel if you're planning on setting up your own e-commerce store, as it is rather straightforward and allows QUITE a lot of freedom for minimum cost.

  • Web-scrapping project
This might need a bit more information, but I will go on about it later on. For now, I can only say that I've already got one done as part of my Bachelors degree, however it was all done half-assed, thus needs to be re-done properly, and it still is a major interest of a sphere to me personally.

Lastly: 
  • App / apps
Thinking of keeping app development more as of a hobby, which I have also studied in university, however it was always fun seeing this run on your device in less that 10 minutes (Very basic stuff) thus doing some advanced development and getting experience in the field will always be one of my priorities.

TL;DR:

A blog about fresh out of uni student trying to show everyone that you don't need to be a master of the interwebs to be successful! Lessons / documentation on development process and all wrong routes tested personally with provided feedback :)

Barely any progress

Refresh! A tiny snippet of how the sublime editor looks like and some barely made "progress" As a follow up, today I've decided to start working on updating one of my "portfolio" websites - jewelltry.com  Even though most of the day was spent on researching the latest, best, fastest, most popular  technologies used nowadays to develop e-commerce websites, I've not managed to find anything too useful and still majority goes in favour for either quick setup stores like shopify  or etsy  or as in my case - bigcartel   which I do highly recommend :) Secondary approach to such development could be also done completely from scratch OR using something like wordpress or magento  of which later I might try out too. As to do at least some kind of progress, I've decided to fire up my beloved IDE for web development - Sublime Text 3  and scrambled the main page together. I gave it a shot to mess around with bootstrap classes a bit, as...

Change of plans

Time to think So, for the last week or so I've been seemingly off the grid, not posting or sharing anything at all. This all came together as I've worked closer to getting the e-commerce site re-done. In the end, it turned out to be not worth doing it from scratch and I've re-done things using magento.  But why did I stop and did not post anything about it? The reason for it was that you actually need quite a bit of knowledge to know how to get things set up properly. It was a fun project, however I've decided not to post about it anymore, as in short - it needed a hosted server where I could upload the files and have a play with them to my liking. This once again adds up to technical knowledge which others might not be too keen of, thus I've decided to leave it be, and instead... I've re-setup bigcartel website to cancel my current paid subscription, so it gets reverted to previous address (Yes, with the ugly .bigcartel.com) inside it.. However.. It...
