Personal Site

Welcome to building out your first personal site! Here are some basic things you need to know to get developing:

• You do not need to use the Sass, Gulp, or Node files If you don't care about that stuff / you find it too complicated, delete the sass/ folder, the gulpfile.js file, and the package.json file
• DO NOT WRITE DIRECTLY INTO THE CSS FOLDER. Write all of your styles in the Sass files. Gulp automatically compiles your Sass into CSS so write all of your styles into the .scss files; otherwise, your styles will get overwritten.
• Install node & npm to use gulp
• Gulp is a build system that makes development a little easier for us by compiling our Sass and automatically reloading
