the product of what i learned

From the time I started web designing to now, I’d say, I have come a long way. Of course, it’s still a longer way to go before I can say that I am already a pro when it comes to web designing, but I am glad of my progress. Considering the fact that I have no formal education on this field I should be really happy with what I can do now. I taught myself how to design a web. I had computer subjects back in college but none of them were about CSS, PHP, javascript, flash, typography, and other stuff that are essential to a web design.

I love learning new stuff and I love it more to see the product of what I learned. That is why I redesigned this blog to see a product that learning and to sort of give myself a tap on the shoulder for successfully teaching myself how to create simple, clean, and pretty blog designs.

Cheers to this blog's whole new look!

I don’t mean to boast but I am truly quite proud of myself. Imagine how much more stuff I could put into my work if I would have had a formal education on web designing. All I have are perseverance and resourcefulness. I read. I research. I practice. I learn from trial and error. It can get really frustrating sometimes but when I successfully able to find a solution to something, the frustrations are easily forgotten.

And for me, the best reward for learning a new thing is that I was able to create a job for myself. My website offering pretty blog designs is doing great. I can’t say I am already earning a living from it but it is great because I get to be paid by doing what I love doing, and every time I add completed projects to my blog design portfolio, I feel a sense of accomplishment. Web designing is an interesting job, and it’s cool because I can do this job while I am at home with my son who was just born last June. So I really have no regrets leaving my teaching job last December.
