# Learning New Framework from W3C
I decided to learn the new W3.CSS framework about a two weeks ago because it looks a lot easier to manage than Bootstrap. I thoroughly enjoy working with Bootstrap, but it can get pretty redundant at times.
The W3School offers an extensive tutorial and plenty of examples so it doesn’t take too long to get up to speed. I can perform a lot of the tasks pretty fast, but I still have to look up some tasks because I haven’t memorized the correct syntax. It’ll come to me.
W3School’s Website Blurb
W3.CSS is a modern CSS framework with built-in responsiveness:
Smaller and faster than other CSS frameworks.
Easier to learn, and easier to use than other CSS frameworks.
Uses standard CSS only (No jQuery or JavaScript library).
Speeds up and simplifies web development.
Supports modern responsive design (mobile first) by default.
Provides CSS equality for all browsers. Chrome, Firefox, IE, Safari, and more.
Provides CSS equality for all devices. PC, laptop, tablet, and mobile.
Mobile Ready Out-of-the-Box
One of the main reasons I decided to learn W3.CSS is because at a basic level, there’s no jQuery or JavaScript to worry about and it is a ‘mobile first’ framework so I don’t have to worry about being mobile ready. It’s built-in :-).

It is now 7:20 in the morning on a Tuesday. I couldn’t sleep so I’ve been up all night working on my computer. One of the tasks I tried to complete was changing the template for this blog.
Michale Rose, another Github member, is offering a template called Minimal Mistakes that looks pretty decent so I was excited about installing it, then using it. I tried for a couple hours to change templates but I couldn’t get the change to occur.
The problem may be that I don’t know what I’m doing :-(
I am new to web development and I know only HTML 5 and CSS so far. I’ll get up to speed before next summer and maybe be proficient by the end of next year! The important thing is I am working towards a goal of becoming a web developer.
Someone I know calls me a web dev wanna be and I just smile. I enjoy being creative and sharing with others and I’m glad to be a part of the Github community.

I just had to change my password for ricoramiro.github.io again! That’s about the third time this year that I’ve forgotten the password, not only for this platform, but for a few others as well.
I don’t know if it is because I turned 51 years of age this year or if it is because I have other things to think about. The one thing I do know is that it is a pain in the butt to have to change passwords. Maybe this time I’ll remember it.
Right after I write this blog post, I’m going to save the new password in a file along with all my other passwords because at least I’ll have somewhere to look when I can’t remember a password.
Other than that, I’ve been having a pretty productive day. I had to reset my computer because, among other things, the speakers stopped working and it began acting funny. I lost all the apps I installed so now I have a lot more work to do. I don’t mind that too much because now the speakers are working again so I can watch YouTube videos and listen to music.:+1:

#I’ve been busy lately learning new things
I have always kept my mind busy by reading or engaging in some activity that makes me use my brain. Neuroscientists say that the brain is just like a muscle and that if we don’t use it, it will atrophy then lead to Alzheimer’s diseases or some other unpleasant illness.
Mental illness runs in my family so I have to be extra careful. I learn something new every day!
Currently, I am learning how to create WordPress blogs and I think I’m doing pretty well. I can make a simple WordPress site in a few minutes and even add plugins. I’m thinking about purchasing another domain, but I haven’t decided what I’ll name the new site or what keywords I’ll try to rank for.
Maybe I’ll decide soon :-)
