My reflection on each site: Developing on HTML felt incredibly rewarding. I have no background whatsoever in coding, but the general loop of tagging text and creating styles in CSS felt pretty intuitive. Everything I did whether it worked or failed always resulted in me learning something, and it didn't feel like I was fixing problems as much as I was finding the correct solutions. The long list of CSS attributes is a little tiring to look over, especially when you're looking for something specific, but one I've learned an attribute I don't believe I've ever had to go back to check again.

On the other hand WordPress felt ironically unintuitive. Because WordPress isn't directly created by me, issues feel almost nebulous and while issues in HTML feel like problems to be solved, WordPress problems truly feel like "bugs". Everything is also thrown at you at once in WordPress, whereas with editing in HTML I would really only discover an option if I was trying to find it, maybe this limits what I choose to do, but it also encourages me to be a little more adventurous with what I look for.

Some things I'm looking forward to on both sites is embedding other forms of media other than pictures, and hopefully learning some JavaScript to add buttons or some small animations to brighten up an otherwise pretty static website. Some interactivity would be great... maybe I'm a little jealous of the trampoline.
