+I finished my week long basic website project based on my current skills. I was able to create a responsive basic one page about me,  linked to portfolio.  The portfolio has not be created, it does have the basic foundation to add the project now.  I used the languages HTML5, CSS, PHP, Framework[foundation] and Jekyll to create the blog.  The site is published.

+My Thinking processes are keeping the code D.R.Y. and Agile. Today, I started posting my Code Louisville projects from the January Front-End Cohort.  I am displaying my code challenges.  
+
+I code from a local machine and push to my central github repo; I ssh from my local machine to my remote site and then I "git pull" to make my changes live.  I feel this process of publishing my code keeps the code very manageable and a lot less prone to error.

+The github also gives me the opportunity to work as a team and have contributors.
