Counter Styled & JavaScripted

To say the least this is better than the one before. And so I must conclude that practice does make improvements in one's learning process. I now see what I did not conceive to understand before. Persistence is a needed quality to have when solo-learning..!

I understand now, how to use divs and shape them. They are more flexible and easier to control and work with. HTML all in all is much easier to get the hang of, it's like building a house from the ground up. I use border and background colours heavily when I am in the process of writing because I hate not seeing what I am doing. That's why I find CSS so frustrating at times. And the browsers are even more annoying since I cannot get my content displayed the way I've painstakingly built it in one place.

I think, as a beginner, I am not the only one that deals with that issue, where you spend two to three days on one project, getting everything else to work just fine, on one of these online editors and then when the finished project is transferred to the local editor hell breaks lose and you can't help but pull at your hair or bald skin, thinking why? why? why? is this happening to my project.

It's a learning curve, I suppose, and the trick is to leave and then come back to it again when you have more understandings in your arsenal. Don't be shy or feel dumb for going back to basic or rewatching and refreshing your memory with stale knowledge that you have acquired at the beginning of your journey.

Now, this was suppose to be a two liner comment about the counter code that I have just finished here today, but it ended up becoming what you read.

And here I'll end with a sweep and say no more a beep, though I won't go to sleep.
Thank you for reading this deep.

It's the
WILL-OF-DEE
