30-36/100 #100DaysOfCode Had my head down this past week building my own theme for my #Wordpress portfolio! Ooft there had been some obstacles
but a really good challenge! Thought I had just lost everything too as my mac had a moment, THANK GOD FOR #GITHUB. #lifesaver

Broken out of the house to attend my first @WPBristolPeeps meetup. Everyone seems very friendly and welcoming! Thank you for the chance to ask some questions and for the food! #wpbristol #wordpress

@Redsky_1 Hey! Which area are you struggling with? Installation or further along? 😊

[Alex Gray @cupofgray]

28-29/100 #100DaysOfCode Been trying to get myself together now that I’ve moved in. Updated my CV and building my online WordPress portfolio. Hopefully will be able to go live soon! #thejobhuntstarts

Getting out of the house and attending my second tech meet up here in Bristol! Interested to learn more about #SEO and think about how to implement it more in future projects! #meetup #bristol #learningallthetime

27/100 #100DaysOfCode Spent the entire trying trying to upload my second sprint. Ended up in such an SSH code pickle that I resorted to FTP and importing/exporting databases etc. I am sure I can make it easier, but I had to draw the line and make something happen! #wordpress

26/100 #100DaysOfCode Yesterday I went along to my first tech meet up here in Bristol. It was with the women's tech hub on a Friday morning in a coworking space. Was very cool and so good to finally be able to meet others in the industry! Also integrated plugin menus to my site.

@Redsky_1 Hey! I actually took the plunge and enrolled in a blueprint with @Skillcrush. They are really good at breaking things down and have a great support network. Normally I go for free but for the way they go about explaining everything I have no regrets! Cheaper than other bootcamps!

[Alex Gray @cupofgray]

24-25/100 #100DaysOfCode #Wordpress I have learnt how to create archive pages for custom fields, started investigating how to import data into wordpress from alternative platforms and begun looking into menus.

#100DaysOfCode Time to get back to work! Had an amazing long weekend away in the Netherlands seeing my best friends I met in Australia. It had been over a year & so good to catch up with them! Also now moved in & living in Bristol! #timetosortmylifeout #finallyunpackedeverything

23/100 #100DaysOfCode did another quick hour, almost finished adding custom posts to the homepage, just need to fix the css up a little more when I get the chance. #wordpress #customposts #codingonholiday

[Alex Gray @cupofgray]

@smwarsh I know right! Sometimes easier said than done though!

[Alex Gray @cupofgray]

22/100 #100DaysOfCode Squeezing in a quick hour whilst the girls do a workout. Installed Advanced Custom Fields Plugin on my local machine. Playing around creating fields and using template tags to create a better user experience in the Dashboard. #WordPress

[Alex Gray @cupofgray]

#100DaysOfCode not been possible to do any work the last two days. Been packing all my stuff to move out, and flown out to Amsterdam to see my best friends that I haven't had the opportunity to see for over a year! So much to catch up on!

[Alex Gray @cupofgray]

21/100 #100DaysOfCode Been learning about custom post types in #wordpress today. Creating new templates and how they can be super helpful for clients with specific needs. Going to into more advanced settings without the need to hard code tomorrow.

[Alex Gray @cupofgray]

Such an emotional day today! Gone through my entire room packing to move out and up to Bristol. Not the same as having a one bag 20kg limit to go around the world! Worst part was clearing out my travel wallet. #NewChapters #Memories #TavellerAtHeart #Nostalgia
