Now I think this is my 2nd or 3rd time saying I am back, but in all honestly I have been active everyday on slack reading and reacting just not posting. Welp hi! I have been busy with school, sports, and different projects. I am still working on the esports site I have been working on-here is a small little preview on some stuff I have been working on!
Site is a little more mobile friendly after today
Finally started working on the teams page today
Jumping back into work on the esports site
Hey everyone! It’s been quite a bit since I’ve been posting but I’m back…! I have stopped coding for a few weeks due to how busy I am and now that things have settled down I am finally jumping back in. First thing I am doing is starting up an old project I abandoned a while ago-redesigning my personal site!
After 399 days my streak has officially come to an end! This morning I got the painful message from @scrappy that I forgot to post last night. I completely meant to but it slipped my mind for the first time in 399 days, kinda upset I was one day off from 400! I probably won't be posting daily anymore to my scrapbook but I kept the streak going for a while so I think its time for a little break. Thanks to everyone who followed along for 399 days!
Spent the last little bit just catching up on slack since I’ve been offline for a day or two

Got some feedback today!
