A Note About Website Navigation

Skip to main menu.

For users of screen readers, depending on the screen resolution, the two checkboxes are for opening and closing the side menus that appear to the left and right side of the screen. This is designed both for large screens and for mobile devices with a touch screen. Checking either the main menu or sidebar checkboxes causes the menu to open from the left or right side of the screen, respectively. Clearing the checkox in either the main menu or sidebar closes the menu. The checkboxes are visible to screen readers such as JAWS and NVDA for Windows, Voiceover for Mac, and Orca screen reader for Linux. When a screen reader says "clickable" for both main menu and sidebar, that is for the respective checkboxes. End of explaination.

When Uploading A Screenshot of a Website, Be Aware Of Your Browser Tabs

When uploading a screenshot of your website (or someone else's website), make sure your email address (or portion of your email address) is not exposed when taking a screenshot. I uploaded my screenshot of pagination for my website and a part of my email address has been exposed over the web and I had to retake the screenshot without it. If you have a webmail opened in one browser tab such as GMail/Google Workspace, your browser tab will look similar to this:

Inbox (5): yourname(at)your...

That tab is exposed by the <title> tag inside a website. Here's what I mean: 
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Inbox (5): yourname(at)yourdomainname(dot)com</title>
  <head>
  <body>
    <h1>Your E-Mail Provider</h1>
    <p>Your email messages go here.</p>
  </body>
<html>

Instead of "@", I use "(at)" so that spam harvesters and bots won't harvest any email addresses in my website; however, I won't give away any of my 170+ email addresses at all. Pay special attention to the title of web pages that you currently have opened. By "title," I meant your browser tabs. My advice is do not leave anything sensitive unattended. I hope I can be of help to everyone. Be safe out there in the web!

ClassicPress and Custom CMS for my Website

Transitioning From Custom CMS To ClassicPress

I have rebuilt my website using ClassicPress instead of a custom-built Content Management System (CMS for short). The reason for why I chose ClassicPress is simplicity. However, simplicity comes with compromises regarding the security and underlying control of my website such as not being able to separate the administration panel from the core CMS. I have first built my website with my own theme in mind due to my experience with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. I built my own admin panel from scratch as well, although it's very tedious and it took me a lot of time. Even though building my admin panel is tedious, mine turned out pretty well--well, almost. I wanted to write PHP code that would synchronize my changes from hte local database to my production database, but I did not put my time into it. So, while building my CMS from scratch is fun, at the end of the day, ClassicPress simplifies the implementation of features for me such as search, categories, and archive for listing posts by month.

About my website that I built with a custom CMS, I focused in the paradigm called Model-View-Controller, or MVC for short. I will get into more detail at a later time as I want to keep my blog article short. However, I can show you the images for those who have eyesight.
