As an avid Squishmallow collector, I have always thought about selling some of mine to make room for more, but I have never been able to emotionally let go. I am proud of how the fonts turned out on this project. The more I clicked around on this website, the more classes and elements I realized there were, and I kept having to update my CSS. While it was a little frustrating, it was also somewhat of a fun Easter egg hunt. I also love the pastel colors of the buttons and links, as those are some of my favorite colors, and they are similar to the Squishmallow branding.  One element I struggled with was the home page. Figuring out how to format the text that overlayed the image using custom CSS was very difficult for me, but I eventually figured it out.  While I do not plan on selling any of the Squishmallows on this website, it was fun to pretend.  For reference, all promotional writing from this site besides the reflection came from ChatGPT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Content:<\/strong> This site was a nightmare! First, I definitely chose the worst theme possible. I know we have been taught to not use super complex themes, but I had a moment of bad judgment and was trying to deviate from my usually simplistic web designs. I regret this. By the time I realized I needed to change themes, every time I did, it would mess up the entire website. I think I tried a solid eight themes, all of which looked worse than this one. I tried implementing custom CSS, but it did not work. I checked my code multiple times and even copied\/pasted some of the CSS from my commerce site that I know works into this template to see if it would make any difference. It did not. I did keep some non-working CSS in the site editor so you can see what I was going for\/that I know how to do it. I, unfortunately, chose this theme way too late into the process to reach out for help, but I would love to come into office hours in the future and learn where I went wrong on this theme or how I could have improved it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Despite all of the things I hate about this content website, there are some cool features I am proud of! I like how the pictures look on mobile and tablet, and I am proud that I made the time to fully flesh out all of my stories (on ChatGPT, at least). Also, I think it&#8217;s cool that I expanded on the idea I used from my last project for this one. I also incorporated a plug-in called &#8220;Contact Form 7&#8221; to create a contact form for my blog users. I promise I really did try with this website, but it did not try with me.
