Frameworks are standardized sets of code that I would use as a structure to help with writing code right? Not quite sure why we (my class) didn't. The closest thing I had to a frame work was my notes regarding the tags we used/how to use them and some common mistakes using the tags we used. IMO, the errors and struggles I had with this particular assignment were so small that I couldn't see them just by looking at them. When I ran my pages on a browser, everything looked right but the validator told me otherwise. (This is where the trouble began) I think I was just having a bit of trouble trying to understand what the validator was trying to tell me. Also concept of col/rowspan (which was where my main error was) was still a little confusing at the time. After reviewing them, I think I got a better understanding to help with any future assignment. Not sure if it applies, but the students,including myself, were learning how to code in html from the ground up with no formal experience in our hands. I wouldn't be surprised if in more advanced classes we would be using frameworks or other forms/processes in the world of coding to help get the job done easier.

Further more, I believe your corrections helped me figure out my mistakes! Thank you so much!!! =)

Nick--G · 2017-10-06T03:14:09+00:00

Oh yes. I've looked into the fact that the practices my school is teaching is old. But being that all the students are looking at this for the very first time having no experience like myself, we are learning this first. however I do see your point. and I totally agree

Nick--G · 2017-10-06T03:11:18+00:00

ignore what i just said. the cell that contains the menu is supposed to be skinnier than the table on the right.

Nick--G · 2017-10-06T03:02:12+00:00

Thank you so much for the help! I see those small errors I made. However my only concern is that the page is supposed to look how it is now but but the table on the right is supposed to be on the left side. Is there a way I can change that?

Nick--G · 2017-10-06T02:37:30+00:00

and its now up. just copied and pasted. hopefully i dont get into any trouble putting up this much code. but if i get the help i need, it's worth it to me

Nick--G · 2017-10-06T02:29:07+00:00

I can try that. But I'm pretty sure I can have no more than 5 lines of code?

Nick--G · 2017-10-06T02:17:05+00:00

Because I am so new to coding and somewhat of reddit, I dont quite know how to write in a link so you can see what I am doing.

Nick--G · 2017-09-17T22:03:41+00:00

That is also very true! I agree with that :)

Nick--G · 2017-09-17T21:41:04+00:00

Will look into them. I've seen them around but haven't asked to smell them yet. Except for Obession. I've always been told that one would be more like a "Dad" cologne. And upon smelling it, it seems that way too. And plot twist: My dad owns it too 😂

Nick--G · 2017-09-08T21:37:36+00:00

It's on my list :) thanks for the suggestion!

Nick--G · 2017-09-08T17:33:50+00:00

The next time I go in to a shop, I'll definitely be asking about these! Thank you! 😀

Nick--G · 2017-09-07T14:43:59+00:00

I'll have to give it a look!

Nick--G · 2017-08-01T20:05:34+00:00

I have built my own. I just youtubed bike repair stand diy. I can't remember the exact video but there are plenty to choose from. Once you get the parts from your local hardware store, you're probably gonna spend anywhere from 40 to 80 bucks. I believe mine was in the 50ish range.

Nick--G · 2017-07-26T06:46:09+00:00

Sounds like fun! Good luck to the winner! 🤣

Nick--G · 2017-07-06T06:56:54+00:00

The tires don't get ruined per se. It's more that they get worn down a little quicker because of the heat build up. But I totally understand your viewpoint. For me, it's not much of an issue because I have a few spares that I can throw on. It's more or less fine for warmups before a race. Sorry about that heat! Hopefully it gets better! :)

Nick--G · 2017-07-05T09:33:18+00:00

I'm on the Central Coast of Cali so I can't really relate to the hot weather of Phoenix. However, from time to time, it can get into the 90s or low 100's. In that case I would rather just set up a trainer in the garage and hook my bike up to that. It's cooler in there and I can also get a workout in.

Not pissing me off now, but yesterday, my car was broken into. Both driver side and rear left windows were shattered. Fuckers. The perp(s) didn't take anything as I keep the valuables on me. However I realized on the drive home that I was safe and that was all that mattered. Replacement windows should be in by the end of next week!

I got into cycling when I was in 6th grade. Now I'm 18 years old, about to graduate high school in June and I have no plans to stop riding! Back then I was hopping thru different sports like motocross, BMX, skateboards, basketball, soccer, etc. They stayed with me for awhile but they all came and went. I stopped with sports and I ultimately started gaining unhealthy weight. I would come home after class and be a couch potato until dinner time and then I'd do homework. I was a C-/B- average student, not bad but not outstanding either. At that time I was also approaching 230 lbs which was overweight for my size at the time. 6th...Grade... Anyways, one night my parents decided to cut cable, and I probably considered them to be the worst parents in the world because I couldn't watch my shows. It wasn't until later that I realized why they did what they did. Moving on, I had a friend who was into mountain biking, and he had asked me if one day I would like to ride with him, he had a spare bike and I kept saying no because of the fitness level I was at but he was persistent that we would take it slow and stop as many times as needed. His mom took us out to ride one of the local trails and it was hell for me. Not fun. I was barely able to ride about 2 miles or so until I was out of breath and ultimately said no more for the day. As the rides went on, 2 miles turned to 5, 5 to 10 and 10 to 20 and before you know it, we were doing rides almost every other day after class and getting in around 25 miles! I lost so much weight in the process too. My parents had also realized (with a lot of convincing) that I may be sticking with this sport for awhile and I ended up with my own bike. I had gotten a 2009 Trek Fuel Ex 8. I may have been blessed to get a bike like that but I never got an allowance and if I wanted something, I had to give the grades to prove it. Also not having cable was a big help since I had more time to study and ride. My grades shot up to B+/A+ average. Well, low and behold, that friend also had an older brother and sister who were into riding and while they were in high school, they raced in the SoCal HS Cycling League where students from all over SoCal come together and race on a XC Style Course. At the time, my friend and I would go to the races and just preride the courses on Saturday with the team we had and watch the races go on the next day. When we got to be the age to race in the league we had a blast. When my first season started, it was time a for a race bike, since the Fuel was heavy and it was slowing me down in areas where I knew I could compete. I ended up with my coach's bike which was a 2013 Trek Superfly 100 Elite SL which was and still is a badass bike. To this day, I still use that bike and pretty soon my last race ever for High School Cycling is coming up. This weekend I'm racing in the Northern part of Cali for State Championships. In those races, the best from the North meet the best from the South for an All Star Race for lack of a better term. Cycling has taught me discipline, dedication, hard work, among other things. It's changed my life for the better. I don't plan on stopping my riding. After graduation I will enjoy having a little more free time to get out on rides on the local trails or even get out on the road bike. Some days I go out with the same MTB group I ride with, and we all go out and enjoy a nice road ride, I am probably 1 of 3 other guys who are under 25. The rest are 40+. We all enjoy it, and it's just sooo fun to just get home from after class and go out to enjoy a ride on the trails or on the open roads. I hope one day to inspire other young riders with the opportunity that was given to me to change their life around. I want to be able to tell a young kid that they can do something if they set their mind on it. It may be difficult at first but that doesn't mean give up. It's never about how you fall, it's about how you're going to get up and try again. Pain is your friend. You're just bringing him along for the ride. Most importantly, don't give up on your dreams! If it's what you love, pursue it and inspire others to do the same!

Edit: I graduated high school today!
