I finished this exercise only using a javascript. I found it repetitive and boredsome to use javescript to design the style of the web. I would definitly use css next time.
Also, I succeeded in only using one picture to complete the fliping step.( :D)
In my understanding, McLuhan’s view is that the medium has more value than the message at a certain time since it is medium that changes the way that people work, live and think. Is it appropriate to say that “the medium is the message” simply because the medium is more valuable or has more long-lasting meanings? What does “message” stand for? Is message equals to value? Also, message depends on the medium just like thoughts depend on a thinker. But can we say that “the thinker is the thought”? After all, what really matters is thought itself even if it may be proved wrong and be replaced by newer thoughts. What’s the value of a thinker without thoughts? Is a thinker still a thinker without thoughts? Is a medium still a medium without messages? Does this mean that medium can never be separated from message? Can we say that “the medium is the message” because they cannot be separated? Well…I don’t think so. Medium cannot develop without those precious thoughts that contain in the messages. It is never the medium that is pushing the development of human society. It is those ideas in the messages that are pushing us forward.

For my updated html site with CSS, I decided to make a completely new site instead of using the first one I made. I used a background image to make it more aesthetically pleasing. I had issues with getting the background to look smoother, and while I’m not completely satisfied with it, this is the best I got it to look with my code.
I used the model of the portfolio CSS exercise for the navigation sidebar and using the float function. I added a fixed footer advertising my Instagram, which is linked. For the navigation bar, there was a good chunk of empty space so I made the position fixed as well. I wanted to include an image gallery and used sample code from w3schools to help me out there, and I now have a gallery with images that link to the images in better resolution. I lowered the opacity of these images as well.
Lastly, I added a site title using emojis.

This exercise was really fun! It was really interesting to see the difference that applying JavaScript can make in terms of the interaction capabilities in the website. I really need to pay attention to simple formatting errors that I make. I seem to get a little carried away in the code and sometimes this creates an oversight however, I am learning to really watch everything I am doing.
I am so excited for the rest of the projects and to develop my skills!

One mistake I always keep on making is forgetting to link functions in the html document. I spent sometime trying to figure out why my code does not work. Additionally, I wanted to see if I could automate the process. I found online this setInterval function which is provided by Javascript. I implemented it to make the cat dance automatically.
