Hello World!

Introduction
Today marks the start of an exciting journey as I launch my blog dedicated to coding and development. This blog will be my space to document everything I’m learning about coding, sharing insights, and organizing my ideas. I’ve wanted to start something like this for a while, and it feels amazing to finally see it come to life.

My Background
My first proper introduction to HTML and CSS happened during my graphic design course. We had weekly classes on web development, where I learned to build websites from scratch. Although I had great teachers and resources, my primary focus at the time was on creating graphics, so I felt much more comfortable using tools like Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

To be honest, web development felt overwhelming back then. The abundance of tags and concepts seemed daunting, and I often found myself relying on template-based services like Adobe Portfolio to build my site. Even so, those early experiences planted a seed of curiosity, and that curiosity has grown into this blog project.
