Feeling Good From the Little Things

I don’t know about you…

But small, seemingly trivial accomplishments are often all I need to feel satisfied. Here are two things I’ve recently done with my website—that 99% of people don’t notice or care about—that put a smile on my face:

1. Creating the red progress bar on my essays page. I see this all the time on other websites and it always seemed like crazy code magic was needed to pull it off. But, look at me… I made it happen.
2. Making the “The Daily Dump” heading on the sidebar of my Daily Dump page (the one you're reading now) sticky. Again, I thought one had to be a coding maestro to make sticky sidebars. Turns out this is easier than I thought.
