The web design came back, the very next day

My first attempt at web design was pretty amateur and I almost fell asleep during the lesson (lynda.com is great but not on a day when you are tired). When my teacher expanded on the tutorials I understood enough to get my personal website built, and with a bit of help I was able to get a couple more sophisticated things working. Now that I have taken an eight week web design course I understand infinitely more and am actually having fun doing it.

As I am getting more practiced I feel more confident about my work and am even able to troubleshoot my own issues. Lately I have been working on rebuilding my personal site with proper code as well as updating my work's website. It feels great to be able to help out a swamped co-worker (she ran out of time for the updates) and have people coming to me with new work.

I was checking my Twitter this morning before work and was reminded once again that the most difficult and challenging work is often the most rewarding. After reading this I realized that was why I have been enjoying my web work so much lately, it is definitely a challenge, but now I can figure it out on my own and that feels great.
