Creating a Website : Portfolio Gallery page

I created my Portfolio front page, I did this so that I could add projects as I go through the year. My first step was to click on the left hand menu and click on 'Pages and Menu'. I then went to Portfolio and removed the template collection and associated links.

 



I then added my new image to the page and added a 'button' I did this by going to the plus sign in the menu on the left hand side and then going to 'Button' and then dragging and dropping into my page





I then went to the menu and added a new page which will be my project page for this term I renamed it 'Buddhism in China' and then dragged it under the Portfolio and made this into a subpage. I then went back to back to the button and added a link to the button to my project page





I then added a 'Back to Portfolio Button on my project page and changed the font and colour to make sure it was clear that this was a button to return to my front portfolio page. I previewed and tested this to make sure it worked







I have updated my Home page with the new image and I added the quote so it fills my photo with inspirational text.



I also added the mobile view to see how it looks like on a mobile phone and if everything looks nice and clear.

Creating website: About me

 



Iwona came to UK for couple of years to study English but then decided to stay and explore the world. She travelled quite a lot. She had a big opportunities to travel to places such as Maldives, India, Spain, Italy, Germany, Holland, Norway, France but that's definitely not the end of it.

Iwona has a dream to travel the world and explore more in the future. She is passionate to learn other languages and to find more about other different cultures that is why she choose Media and Communication with Mandarin. That would be another language she speak apart from some understanding of few others. 

She is the person who would fall down thousand of times but she would always get up and never give  up. She trust her intuition and follow it. Nothing will stop her when she really wants something.



I completed and then I added this to my website by clicking on the right hand menu and going into my 'About' page. I then copied and pasted my test in from blogger to the website page and changed the font to match my fonts on the page. That's the final page:



Then I have checked my my mobile view and it looks like that.



 

Creating a Website: Contact page & Social link

 I added a new contact and deleted the old one and then I went to settings and email notifications and set the notifications to my email.

I used the add button on the left hand menu to add social links icons. I then clicked into the social icons and deleted ones I did not need. I then I added the links by clicking on the ones I was using; the Blogger.
