Problem Log:
Monday April 1
-fixed the navigation menu to make it look more concise
-changed the background shadows and colors including the menu
-the navigation bar was has a light blue and two light orange.
-replaced two photos on homepage
Wednesday, April 3
- picked a couple photos and added it to the first article
- added the second article: still working on the layout

April 8th
- I changed the background photos. I started off with four photos, that alternate. I choose one photo for the main background and deleted the three pictures.  I decided to use one photo for the background because the orange colors went well with the white title. In the three photos, the backgrounds were too busy and clashed with the title and the navigation bar.
- I edited the main background photo. This is the photo of Lake Aloha around granite mountains.  I edited this photo in photoshop. I lowered the brightness of the water to highlight the sky's reflection on the lake.  Also, I edited the sky making it more orange so it would look better with the colors of the title.

April 10th
-Today I worked on uploading all of my articles to the blog.
-After talking to Chris, he thought if I added photos to the articles it would be more engaging and interesting for the viewers. First, I added photos to every paragraph for the Bear Scratch story. I found some older pictures that I added to the story. One thing that took a while was laying out the photos. I  used different examples of photo layouts from other people articles and blogs which helped me form a good piece.
-Also, I added photos to most of my articles. I edited and fixed all of the writing errors in articles. I got all caught up and finished working on this page for now until I write new stories.

April 15-18th
- These two classes I completely changed my homepage and title.
-When I first made the title the letters were all white and the text under the title the letters were orange. I changed the title text colors to mid-ton blue that match the background on the lake aloha photo. Also, I changed the "personal travel & adventure blog and my name" to white. I changed the text colors because the orange, did not seem very professional and it did not flow well with the overall theme. I changed the blue because it is more of a solid color that goes with the whole entire picture and theme.
- I moved the title from the middle of the page to the left top corner and made it smaller. I moved the title because in the middle the title clashed with the rocks, so when it higher up it looked more natureal with that placement in the clouds.
-Also, I moved the "personal travel & adventure blog and my name" under the title, shrunk the font to make it look more appealing.

April 22nd
I spent today working on the page about me. I edited and re-wrote the my bio to make it flow better. Also, I edited the photo on photoshop. I fixed the grainyness and also the colors. I added a filter to make the photo.

April 23
I spent the day editing all of the photos on photo shop. I tried to use the same filters for all of pictures to try and make the photos similar.

How much house can I afford? The hard truth is, it doesn’t matter if the kitchen is fabulous or the backyard is big. If you can’t pay the mortgage each month or find the cash to fix what’s broken, your home will be a burden—not a blessing
