Website Development Issue #4

Thoughts about the purpose of this site and other factors

WebDev Issue #4

The latest development in this site and in my aspirations of being a DevOps specialist is the acquisition of a lifetime license for Divi (both the template and the builder app).  This comes on the tail of buying a used Alienware M18 R1 laptop so I’m gradually building out for the program I’ve set myself on.  I see the utility of Divi and while the learning curve is sort of lite there is a learning curve.  I find the AI page layout interesting but it can be hard to override the settings such as the header size in this post.  By the time you read this that might be addressed but it wasn’t as intuitive as I’d hoped.

 

I’ve researched it a bit and I think long term I’m probably going to invest the resources and time to learn the Bricks system for WordPress development.  This is in part because it uses some of the skills that are sort of built in on Divi.  The stuff you’d use on a regular site.  I do plan to continue use of WordPress but to step it up to a higher level.  Possibly to the highest level in fact.  I got Dive because the license was very reasonably priced and I figured it would not hurt to get familiar with it.  Bricks though is more advanced by all accounts so that’s the next step.  Divi was $200 on sales so far Bricks is $599 for the lifetime version.  I’m looking long-term so I want the lifetime licenses wherever possible.

 

Restructuring the categorization.

I’ve initiated a reorganization of the categories used site wide inspired by a book I’m reading about Technical Writing.  Tech writing is another subject I intend to pursue along with tech reading which is required for DevOps.  You can learn a lot by studying technical papers.

Furthermore, we examine the critical role of user experience (UX) design in web development, highlighting best practices for creating intuitive and engaging interfaces. Our expert contributors share their insights on the future of web development, offering valuable advice for staying competitive in this dynamic field.

The nature of the articles will be shifting to practice and develop technical writing skills.  It’s already evident here although I may retroactively redo the other entries in this series for practice.  Divi works pretty good for this.  I’ll actually be writing about it but I’m going to adopt some of the norms of the Documentarian style on a development project and use them here in a demonstration mode.  In fact I’ll apply to the whole site

Introduction to the Alienware M18 R1 Workstation Laptop

Unleashing the Power of Alienware M18 R1

The Ultimate Workstation Experience

I use several laptops for different purposes and run multiple operating systems.  I’m consolidating some of what I do with a new model: The Alienware M18 R1.  This is a step away from the past and I’m also adding some Alienware peripherals.  I’ll add posts about them in time but I’ll only keep them if they are as good as this laptop.

 

First let me admit I’m not that much of a gamer I just lack the time.  I do some gaming but what I really bought this for was DevOps.  Developing websites, programming, security, and all the things associated with the title.  One selling point for instance is I got one with 64 GB of RAM which will useful when emulating operating systems like Kali Linux.  I’m also interested in emulating other more mainstream distros and things like OSX and prior versions of Windows.  Another use is for content generation using Adobe Apps.  I’d of gone totally with Linux but for the need to address a range of systems and running these apps.  As it came with Windows 11 Pro I opted to keep it rather than going to the trouble to emulate it in Linux.  I do plan to add some certification Linux and this Laptop will be great for it.
