Making a Website - 2026-09-22

Current experimenting with learning how to make a website again, using The Odin Project.

I feel like there is a mental disconnect between knowing theoretically how to make a website, vs actually creating one.

For example, I know a site is made of html for content, stylized with css, and then given functionality using javascript. There are of course different methods, such as using react, or a styling system like astro. But the heart of it is those three languages, combined with some additional graphical assets. The tricky part is mentally connecting them all together.

Honestly, I likely need to dabble in CSS more to style various sites, and then some of it may finally lock together in my mind.

Some ideas:

In order of fun:

  1. Making a link maze
  2. Making a newsletter
  3. Making a homepage
  4. Making a portfolio

I guess it's time to go home
