Putting Things in Places

Every time a break of some kind comes 'round (that whole once per semester reprieve we all wait for), I always tell myself that I will use this time wisely and catch myself up as much as possible. For our DH class, this would prove to be a monumental feat. My goal was to create a landing page for my website as well as the holding pages for "Research," "Courses," and "Digital Humanities." I also wanted to update my CV page to match whatever the landing page looked like and possibly figure out QGIS in order to have something on the DH page. Ambitious, I know. A bit too ambitious.

Repeat.

Thankfully, Fall Break was not a total failure. I spent over four hours creating a landing page that I think suits my needs as far as the website is concerned and looks halfway decent (I guess). I was also able to begin changing the CV page so that it didn't appear (as obviously) that they were not created at the same time or using the same mental design. The next part is where I ran into a major problem--one I haven't seemed to figure out quite yet. I realized that I have no idea how exactly to connect the pages together so that they will show up on the same site. I realize it has to do with linking directories, but I can't seem to figure out where the links are (I'm really not explaining this properly). I have everything uploaded in FileZilla (I think), but the directory path isn't really clear. 

Hours of endless frustration!

Needless to say, this is where my success stopped. I guess you could call the rest of my to-do list failures along with trying to put things (links to whatever directories) in places (the website).
