It rained on and off, and I took a break from studying to go for a walk and I stayed dry almost the entire time. I carried a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galaxus.ch\/de\/s3\/producttype\/wassersack-2235?tagIds=211-344-1198&amp;bra=10977\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.galaxus.ch\/de\/s3\/producttype\/wassersack-2235?tagIds=211-344-1198&amp;bra=10977\">Sea to Summit three litre bag<\/a> with me, in case I needed to keep the phone etc dry. For a moment I thought it would start raining but it didn&#8217;t so I stayed dry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The walk was short, just one hour, as the conditions are not ideal for walking. The views weren&#8217;t good and the probability of being caught in the rain was high. I also wanted to walk a route where I did not soak myself and my shoes. On the route I walked, cars were unable to bully me like they do on other routes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The course I am studying now is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/learning-login\/share?forceAccount=false&amp;redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Flearning%2Fwordpress-building-child-themes-3%3Ftrk%3Dshare_ent_url%26shareId%3D0STZAbDnRvSPcjoqGW5K9Q%253D%253D\">WordPress Building Child Themes<\/a> and so far I find the course interesting. I have only gone so far as to create a child theme and ensure that it works. That&#8217;s when I took a break for the daily walk. I enjoy studying JavaScript, Angular and other ideas but there is a lot to learn, so I thought that by returning to WordPress. I could focus on learning how to use functions, and understand concepts individually, and then return to Angular, JavaScript and more. I want to step my learning. I don&#8217;t want to simply finish a course. I want to understand a concept first, and then finish the course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I still have a lot to learn about CSS but at least this is a technology where I understand the ideas, even if I have not played with all of the tools, or learned of plenty of solutions yet. That is the point of step learning. You learn, get comfortable, and move on. I can also learn what I learn now, to move my entire website into a CMS with different sections having a different look. I have aspirations, and they will force me to learn how to implement them in WordPress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will spend more time studying, now. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Today I woke early, shopped, studied German, read the news and then studied WordPress Child themes.
