The Darien Springer Homepage

News
12/3/18:

Still working on the website. First version of homepage is nearly done. Have gotten a better handle on how to space the elements from each other. Figured out how to use Javascript to have the browser interpreter select a random quote from an array using the Math.Random() function. After the interpreter selects the quote from an array, it prints out the quote to the homepage.

Still don't know if my homepage looks that great from a design perspective. I have been finding that the design aspect of making webpages is often just as difficult as the technical aspect. I look at a webpage and I find myself baffled as to where I should place elements. I need to spend more time emulating website designs that I admire and try to figure out why they are aesthetically pleasing. The design aspect is also difficult because it is so subjective.

First version of homepage has layout I want but I think this page will probably be updated quite a bit over time. For now, I like how it is but I want to work on it in the future. I eventually want to learn some PHP so that I can have users be able to interact with my webpages in a way that will permanently alter them. I would also want to learn server side stuff so that I can upload files to my website that can then be downloaded by a user.
