Choosing Icons and Chasing the Perfect Website Layout

Lehan Edirisinghe

A full website-design day: deciding on icon-only navigation, testing menu sizes, comparing button colors, watching WandaVision and Judy Blume in the background, and pushing the site toward something cleaner, sharper, and more aesthetically satisfying despite the heat and low mood.

(b)

Look at our interactive, responsive menu, with the icons, just beautiful, stunning

Story

Choosing Between Menu Titles and Icons

11:45 a.m.

I have to choose between menu titles and menu icons, I am leaning towards icons because it is more futuristic and I personally prefer these

Though, I am not sure, I have to think about it

I opted against going with my family to the beach

Story

Choosing Icons Over Menu Titles

12:15 p.m.

I will go with the icons--

The menu titles look good too, you cannot have both unfortunately, so I will go with icons

Story

Finalising Menu Icons Without Changing URL Slugs

12:30 p.m.

If you look at these three, the first is the original one on top, the second is switch to icon and the third final version is what I will go with--

I manually altered the names of site menu titles, then checked, to see URL last part or slug under Google SEO menu stayed correct URL name

I am happy with this

Story

Choosing a History Icon Instead of a Danger Symbol

12:45 p.m.

Dunno whether to use the icon used for story or the history icon instead for story --

I am leaning towards the sharper, modern history icon because the autostory icon feels stressful

i will switch it to the history icon

I could even use the danger icon for the heck of it

But I dunno

"I like danger"

I could say SL past is anyway danger--

But I should stay PC safe and opt for the history icon

Lunch Hunger and Choosing Coloured Buttons Over Gold

1:45 p.m.

I am going to starve, so I have to go get lunch now.

I am unsure, if I should go with gold buttons only or coloured buttons

https://youtu.be/-orFtcORyuM

Personally, I am unsure, I will--

I dunno.

I guess, full gold is less stressful, but--

I dunno.

I do not like gold colour. It is too much. I will just keep the colours

Story

Admiring the Website’s Aesthetics

2:45 p.m.

Very, very aesthetically pleasing website

I really like it

Story

Depression, WandaVision’s Ending and Anger at Weak Leadership

4:00 p.m.

I am feeling very depressed. But I dunno.

Apparently some of our family visited the beach.

I watched WandaVision. It is okay. Quite depressing, I was crying a bit for the sad ending.

I remembered Sheryl Sandberg, as she, just like Wanda, lost her husband Dave, or my mum who lost my dad--

***

I am now back to working on my firm's website, I am quite uncomfortable as it is boiling in SL.

The air con does not work as well

I am very disappointed with how my mum did not fight for our assets --

I cannot stand weak leaders, I have no room for them in my life, they are a cancer

Story

Judy Blume’s MasterClass, Website Work and Pushing Through Depression

6:15 p.m.

I am listening to Judy Blume's MasterClass on writing. I am working on my firm's website.

Judy reminds me of Norman Osborn, played by Willem Dafoe, who plays that detective on American Psycho about Norman/ Patrick Bateman

I am feeling pretty tired, a bit depressed and I am pushing on with making improvements

I did not see any good online

I saw interesting big guys on my People You May Know List, who I Googled, and was shocked to find, were very big guys

Misremembering French Swear Words and a Diary Insult

* At any given moment, despite sitting for French Ordinary Level exams under GCSE, Lehan does not speak a good word of French -- he speaks French always -- and only ever remembers the bad words. *

A Possible Cold, New Hairdryer and Website Progress

8:45 p.m.

I am developing a cold, or I just sneezed.

I am hungry now. I will go and find food. I want to take a shower to test out my new hairdryer.

I will update website later. I have more or less, fixed the home page, and the firm page.

I will work on security, virtues, and join next as they are smaller; the history/ story and wins page are lengthier--they will take more efforts

I am seeing Judy Blume's MasterClass on Writing:

Story

Quoting Anne Frank About Jacques and Joking About Betrayal

8:45 p.m.

(b)

* Lehan quickly finds Anne Frank's diary to quote her *

"Jacqueline van Maarsen is supposedly my best friend, but I've never had a real friend.

At first I thought Jacque would be one, but I was badly mistaken."

Jacques Huyghebaert is supposedly my best friend,

but I've never had a real friend.

At first I thought Jacques would be one, but I was badly mistaken -- or was I!?" :) :/ ;) ;)

* Lehan wickedly laughs, giggles maniacally to himself, he is insidious, the exact opposite of Jesus, full of sin, and will sacrificially crucify the world for himself. *
