YOU MUST MAKE A WEBSITE

Oh wow, look at that! YET ANOTHER post urging you to make a webbed site! What a completely new thing that people haven't made a thousand masterposts for already!!

• Making a website might look scary. It is Not.

At first, I too thought making a website was too much work. It really isn't! It turns out that all you need is

an HTML file,

a web hosting service and

w3schools tutorials,

and that's about it!

This post will point you towards these resources, and others I found useful while figuring out how to make a website.

• VERY QUICK EXPLANATIONS:

What's HTML and CSS?

HTML is the content of your webpage, the skeleton of it. What shows up in a webpage is what's written in the HTML file!

CSS is the way the HTML is styled; the colour of the background and the letters, the size of elements, the font, all that!

Do I absolutely NEED JavaScript for a website?

Not at all! You don't need to worry about learning it before getting started.

• What do I make a website for? What do I put in there?

ANYTHING AND ALMOST EVERYTHING. Here's some ideas for pages from a post of mine were I was very normal about websites:

You can make a page that's only pictures of your pets.

You can make an interactive adventure.

You can make your own academic blog full of your own essays or articles.

You can just post a ton of art or make a full music page.

You can make a blog and infodump eternally, give book reccs and reviews. You can host a thousand virtual pets and nothing else.

Upload entire books in a single html file. Make a wikipedia for your ocs. Make a fake site for a random fictional place (restaurant, hotel, whatever). You can make a thousand fanpages/shrines about your favorite media. You can upload your own webcomic and make it all like a fancy website and shit.

I could keep going but, for the sake of "brevity", I won't.

• WEBSITE EXAMPLES!

If I started listing the websites I know, this post would be bottomless. Here's only seven:

https://publictransit.neocities.org/ - A webbed site, for sure

https://ribo.zone/ - A personal site

https://leusyth.neocities.org/ - An art archive

https://solaria.neocities.org/ - Personal website with A Lot of stuff (it'll come up in a bit, because it offers web making resources)

https://hog.neocities.org/ - The Hogsite

https://thegardenofmadeline.neocities.org/ - Another personal site! It also has a web resources page and has made another masterpost like this one (but better)

https://spiders.neocities.org/ - My own website, which must be weird to see in mobile . sorry

• You've convinced me. I want a webbed site. Where do I start?

https://neocities.org/

FIRST OF ALL: Neocities. It is a free web hosting service, and it's the one I and the sites I linked use!

When I first started, my website was a black page with red letters and a drawing, and nothing else! It was like that for a month, till i started picking up on how to do things.

Here's what helped me get an idea of how to make things work:

https://sadgrl.online/learn/articles/beginners-guide-neocities

An absolute beginners guide to neocities -- while when you make an account there you get a tutorial page from the site, this one's extra support for that.

https://www.w3schools.com/

Learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript and MANY other coding things for free. All the tutorial/reference pages have live testing windows for you to mess with!! helped me a LOT while figuring this stuff out!

https://htmlcheatsheet.com/

https://htmlcheatsheet.com/css/

Cheatsheets for HTML and CSS, respectively. It includes a JavaScript one too!

https://sadgrl.online/webmastery/

Sadgrl's webmastery resources! Also includes the next resource listed here:

https://sadgrl.online/projects/layout-builder/

Sadgrl's layout builder; not a lot of customization at a first glance, but I've seen wildly different websites all using it as a base, plus it works using CSS Flexbox, so it generates a responsive layout!

(basically, a responsive layout is one that translates well in different sized screens)

https://www.tumblr.com/fysa/728086939730919424/wikitable-code?source=share

Tumblr user fysa made this layout imitating a wiki page!

https://brackets.io/

At some point, you might want to do things outside the Neocities code editor and get one outside the site. I recommend Brackets, because my old as fuck computer can run that and absolutely nothing else apparently, and it works wonderfully! Though I recommend either turning off the code autocomplete or using it after a good while of already using the Neocities code editor, so you get used to coding on your own.

http://www.unit-conversion.info/texttools/text-to-html/

Turn your text into HTML code! i use this kind of pages for my lengthy blog entries that I don't feel like formatting myself.

https://imagecompressor.com/

COMPRESS YOUR IMAGES.

The heavier an image is, the more your site weighs and the more time your page will spend loading. You don't want that, specially if your site is heavy on graphics. This might help!

https://solaria.neocities.org/guides

Some CSS, JavaScript and Accessibility guides! Worth checking out!

https://eloquentjavascript.net/

This is a free, interactive book for learning JavaScript! NOTE: It is very intuitive, but JavaScript is HARD!! I still haven't learned much of it, and my website does fine without so don't worry if you end up not doing much with it. It's still useful + the exercises are fun.

And now, accessories!

• Silly stuff for your page :]

https://gifypet.neocities.org/

Make a virtual pet, copy the code and paste it in your HTML file! You'll get a little guy in your webbed site :]

https://www.wikplayer.com/

Music player for your website!

http://www.mf2fm.com/rv/

JavaScript silly effects for your site :]

https://blinkies.neocities.org/geoblinkies

Blinkie search engine!

https://www.cbox.ws/

Add a chatbox to your site!!

https://momg.neocities.org/

Infinite gallery of gifs. i've spent hours in there looking at moving pictures and out of them all, the ONLY gif i actually ended up using on my site was a rotating tomato slice. it is still there. trapped.

https://wrender.neocities.org/tarotinstructions

A widget that gives you a random tarot card!

https://www.websudoku.com/widget.php

Sudoku widget!

That's about it for now! I don't know how to end this!!! Remember to have fun and google everything you don't know :]

Permanent Blacklists for AO3

Would you like to permanently remove fics with your squicks, triggers, and dislikes from all AO3 searches by default so that you never have to think about or encounter them again? Well now you can!

The ability to do this has actually been around for a little while but it relies on some new CSS functionality that wasn't supported on all major browsers until fairly recently (though you may still have to enable it manually on some). I'm not going to explain how this method works or how to code AO3 skins in general, as I've only dabbled in it a little and there are already some very good tutorials out there. If you want all of the details, check out these guides:

Skins and Archive Interface FAQ – The official skins guide created by AO3. Lots of good information but might be overwhelming and confusing for a beginner.

A Non-Extensive Guide on How to Start Creating a Skin for AO3 by ao3skin – Some good, fairly easy to understand, beginner info on CSS and specifically how it applies to AO3 skins.

Permablocking Specific Tags - Site Skin by Eli0t – Everything you need to know to create permablock lists. If your blacklist doesn't seem to be working as expected, check this for troubleshooting tips.

What I can offer though are some handy pre-made blacklists that you can use as-is or as a starting point to create your own so that you don't have to go to the trouble of figuring out how any of this works or hunting down relevant tags. Just copy the code, open AO3, go to My Preferences > Skins > Create Site Skin, paste it in the box, title it, and click Submit!

Note: The following lists are very specific to me and my own personal tastes. Absolutely no judgement if you love any of the things that I choose to blacklist. You do you. I just happen to like my fics fucked up and relatively canonical.

★ No Reader Fic – Hides all self-insert and reader fic.

★ No Alternate Universes – Hides anything tagged with the most common AU tags. There are so many incredibly specific AUs there's no way to list all of them and AU tagging is also extremely inconsistent from fic to fic so this blacklist may only catch 80% of AUs, but that's better than nothing. You could always exclude the entire alternate universe tag, rather than trying to list specific ones, but unfortunately canon divergence and other less extreme AUs would get caught in the crossfire, which is not worth it for me.

★ No Fluff – Hides anything tagged with the most common fluff and romance tags. I specifically left out "fluff and angst" though because sometimes that's used for things that are mostly angst with only a bit of fluff and I do love angst.

★ Bonus: No Dead Dove – This list is not mine (for obvious reasons) but I know some people may find it useful. Hides anything with the main archive warnings and many common problematic, taboo, or controversial tags. Some of these I wouldn't even classify as dead dove, they're literally just kinks, so I'd suggest reviewing the list carefully and removing any that don't apply to you.

Additional Notes:

This system doesn't work exactly the same as AO3's exclusion filters because you can't use top-level wrangled tags to block all subtags. It only blocks exact matches.

Once the blacklist is implemented you'll see no indication that anything was blocked (except for fewer fics listed on each search page); the entire blurb will be hidden. The tags and fic counts listed in the filter bar will remain unchanged. If you want more advanced features like whitelisting or adding something to indicate when a fic was removed, check out the permablocking guide by Eli0t.

Here's a link with info on which browsers currently support the new "has()" element, which this blacklist system relies on. As of right now Firefox for desktop still has to be manually enabled (for instructions see the section on flag enabling in the permablocking guide). Firefox for iOS isn't listed on this website but it seems to work fine for me.

There are other browser-specific extensions that let you permablock tags, such as this one and this one, that may be more a little more user friendly, but I've never tried them so I can't vouch for them and they may not work consistently between different devices. The good thing about doing blacklists via skins is that, after setting it up once, it should work automatically on pretty much any device (as long as you're logged in to your AO3 account).

[abberantmachine]

I think every beginners tutorial also needs to really hammer in how great console.log and in-browser web tools are for picking up on errors or the fact that. if you just want to fiddle with the HTML/CSS a bit without having to save and refresh you can just do that using "inspect element" and that's saved me so much trouble because I didn't have to keep saving and refreshing the page over and over to see if I actually fixed a problem or not.

[izicodes]

Hii ! I’m in a bit of a problem rn and I’m wondering if you could help ( sorry for bothering you )

So school just finished and I’m on vacation for like 3 months so I really want to learn how to code ( I mainly want to make cool websites and stuff ). So I started to learn html and css but it just seems so overwhelming especially seeing all the ressources and tutorials online, could you please help me know what to learn first ? 💖

Hiya! 💗

Yeah, I can help! It can be overwhelming at first, but it's best to break it down into chunks and tackle them bit by bit.

For now, as a complete beginner, use these 3 resources:

HTML and CSS course video - LINK

W3School (for extra help) - HTML LINK | CSS LINK

MDN (for even extra help) - HTML LINK | CSS LINK

After that, work on projects to test your knowledge:

List of 11 projects to tackle - LINK

Here is the list of things you want to cover in HTML:

Basic structure

Tags and elements

Attributes

Forms

Semantic markup

Tables

The same but for CSS:

Selectors

Box model (margin, padding, border)

Typography (fonts, text properties)

Colours and backgrounds

Layout and positioning (floats, flexbox, grid)

Responsive design (media queries)

Transitions and animations

Now that you have a list of what you need to cover, tackle them one by one, making sure you understand the topic before you head over to the next. The video tutorial covers all of this and more. If you don't understand a bit in the video, stop and look on W3School and MDN for further understanding and then continue on with the video. Also, tackle the video slowing. Don't rush, don't do it, it'll just make the learning process even longer if you getting not understand things.

The resources I listed are my complete go-to. After that, as you've noticed, there are hundreds more. Go through the ones you need for the specific project you're working on or the topic you're studying only.

Hope this helps and good luck! 💻💗

JavaScript Tutorial: A Beginner's Guide to the World of Web Development

Welcome to the exciting world of JavaScript! If you're looking to dive into web development, understanding JavaScript is essential. This versatile programming language powers the interactive elements of websites and is a key component of modern web applications. In this tutorial, we'll cover the basics of JavaScript, its syntax, and some practical examples to get you started.

What is JavaScript?

JavaScript is a high-level, dynamic, and interpreted programming language that is primarily used for enhancing the interactivity of web pages. It allows developers to create rich user experiences by manipulating HTML and CSS, responding to user events, and communicating with servers.

Why Learn JavaScript?

Ubiquity: JavaScript is supported by all modern web browsers, making it a universal language for web development.

Versatility: Beyond the browser, JavaScript can be used on the server-side (with Node.js), in mobile app development (with frameworks like React Native), and even in game development.

Community and Resources: With a vast community and numerous resources available, learning JavaScript is more accessible than ever.

Getting Started with JavaScript

Setting Up Your Environment

To start coding in JavaScript, you don't need any special software. All you need is a web browser and a text editor. Here’s how to set it up:

Choose a Text Editor: Popular options include Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, and Atom.

Open Your Browser: You can use any modern browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.

hi!!! I loved ur hometsuck kids theme sm it made me want to go back into coding after so long(^^; I wanted to know how u learned it and if u have any tips for newcomers. Ty !!

oh holy shit this is ask is SO SWEET :,) thank you so much anon and i’m so happy to hear it made you want to get back into coding! we seriously need a tumblr theme renaissance. what i would give to see people coding and sharing/reblogging themes like the older days on tumblr. life could be dream.

i learned html and css from making my own tumblr themes as a kid! i think tumblr themes are literally such a good introduction into learning front-end development. BUT to be fair i also took a few programming classes and was a big coding nerd in school and that definitely helped me become a lot more comfortable with making themes from scratch and adding custom script. if you are interested in learning javascript, learnjavascript.online is a great source for starting out and getting some practice!

i think a great way to get your bearings is to look at some base themes and poke around at the code just to familiarize yourself with some of the tumblr-specific syntax. @theme-hunter has a great database of themes to look at with some tutorials for beginners compiled here. i think the best way to learn how div blocks function and what you are capable of changing is by playing around with preexisting code and seeing what you can create. i did this until i was comfortable enough to make a few base themes of my own from scratch that i can go back and reference when starting a new theme or coding project.

tumblr also has a list of their block elements online with some introduction to custom themes, which is helpful to reference when styling the features built into each tumblr blog like title, descriptions, posts, notes, etc.

as far as tips for newcomers, here’s a few things top of mind:

google is your best friend, seriously, i can't tell you how many times i am googling the most rudimentary of things because i'm always forgetting little syntax things. chances are, if there's something you want to achieve with code there will be someone on stack overflow with some advice, or a tutorial on codepen or w3schools that you can use as reference.

troubleshoot with inspect element! i usually build my code straight into the tumblr theme html and css on a sideblog, save, and then keep a tab of that blog open that i can refresh and inspect element to look for errors in the console. i think firefox works the best, but i would recommend always loading your blog in a few different browsers since there is css syntax that is specific to mozilla or chrome (eg. custom scrollbars or pure-css animations)

there are lot of browser extensions that can make the coding process easier! i recommend eye dropper for pulling and matching hex codes. i also use fonts ninja a lot for getting accurate weights and names for custom fonts. a few more that come to mind are window resizer and css viewer (chrome/mozilla) if you want to check those out!

happy coding!

Front end web developer skills you need to know

To become a successful front-end web developer, you’ll need a solid foundation in key skills. Mastering HTML & CSS is essential for creating the structure and style of websites.

JavaScript and ES6 add interactivity and modern functionality, while CSS & JS frameworks like Bootstrap and React streamline development.

Understanding GIT & GITHUB for version control and implementing responsive design ensures your projects work seamlessly across all devices.

In this article, we will review some of the key skills required for expert front web development.

Download Infographic

HTML & CSS

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are the backbone of front-end web development. HTML structures the content of a web page, using elements like headings, paragraphs, links, and images.

CSS styles that content, controlling layout, colours, fonts, spacing, and responsiveness. Together, they allow developers to create visually engaging and well-structured websites.

Mastering HTML & CSS is crucial before moving on to more advanced topics like JavaScript or frameworks. You’ll need to understand concepts such as semantic HTML, CSS selectors, the box model, and media queries.

There are plenty of free and paid resources to help you learn. Great starting points include MDN Web Docs, W3Schools, and freeCodeCamp’s Responsive Web Design certification.

Platforms like Codecademy and Coursera also offer beginner-friendly courses. Practising by building small projects is one of the most effective ways to reinforce your learning.

JavaScript

JavaScript is a core technology of front-end web development, used alongside HTML and CSS to create dynamic, interactive websites. While HTML provides the structure and CSS handles styling, JavaScript enables user interaction by manipulating elements on the page in real-time.

It’s responsible for features such as form validation, image sliders, dropdown menus, modal windows, and dynamic content updates without reloading the page (using AJAX). JavaScript interacts with the Document Object Model (DOM), allowing developers to modify HTML and CSS based on user actions like clicks, scrolls, or keystrokes.

Modern front-end development often uses JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as React, Vue.js, or jQuery to streamline development and enhance functionality. Understanding JavaScript fundamentals is essential before diving into these tools.

There are excellent resources to learn JavaScript, whether you’re a beginner or looking to advance your skills. Top recommendations include JavaScript.info, MDN Web Docs, and freeCodeCamp. You can also find interactive tutorials on Codecademy, as well as comprehensive courses on platforms like Udemy and Coursera.

For in-depth understanding, the book Eloquent JavaScript is highly regarded in the developer community. Practising through small projects and coding challenges will solidify your knowledge.

ES6

ES6 (ECMAScript 2015) is a major update to the JavaScript language, introducing powerful new features that make coding more efficient and maintainable. It brought significant improvements to JavaScript syntax and functionality, including let and const for block-scoped variable declarations, arrow functions for cleaner, more concise function expressions, template literals for easier string formatting, and destructuring for simplifying data extraction from arrays and objects.

ES6 also introduced promises for better handling of asynchronous operations, modules for organising code into reusable components, and classes for a more structured, object-oriented approach to JavaScript development.

ES6 has become a standard in front-end web development, forming the backbone of modern frameworks like React, Vue.js, and Angular, where these features are heavily utilised to create fast, scalable, and maintainable web applications. It also improves code readability and reduces common bugs, making it an essential skill for front-end developers.

To learn ES6, great resources include MDN Web Docs, JavaScript.info, freeCodeCamp’s JavaScript course, and Codecademy’s interactive tutorials. The book Eloquent JavaScript also covers ES6 in depth, while platforms like Udemy and Coursera offer structured courses for more in-depth learning. Practising with real-world projects is the best way to master ES6.

CSS & JS Frameworks

CSS and JavaScript frameworks play a vital role in front-end web development by streamlining the coding process and reducing development time.

CSS frameworks like Bootstrap, Tailwind CSS, and Foundation provide pre-written CSS classes and components for creating responsive layouts, navigation menus, buttons, and more. They help ensure consistent design and save developers from writing repetitive code.

JavaScript frameworks such as React, Vue.js, and Angular offer structured approaches to building interactive user interfaces and managing complex application states. These frameworks simplify DOM manipulation, improve performance, and enable the creation of reusable components.

By using these frameworks, developers can build modern, responsive, and scalable web applications more efficiently.

To learn CSS frameworks, explore the official documentation for Bootstrap or Tailwind CSS, as well as tutorials on freeCodeCamp and W3Schools. For JS frameworks, the React and Vue.js official docs, MDN Web Docs, Codecademy, and Scrimba offer excellent learning paths.

GIT & GITHUB

GIT and GitHub are essential tools for front-end web developers, enabling efficient version control and collaboration. GIT is a distributed version control system that tracks code changes, allowing developers to manage project history, revert to earlier versions, and work on multiple features simultaneously using branches.

GitHub is a cloud-based platform that hosts GIT repositories, making it easy for developers to collaborate, share code, and contribute to open-source projects. It also offers features like pull requests, code reviews, and issue tracking to streamline development workflows.

In front-end web development, GIT and GitHub are used to manage code for websites and applications, ensuring version control and seamless collaboration. They also make it easy to showcase projects in a professional portfolio.

To learn GIT and GitHub, consider GitHub Learning Lab, freeCodeCamp, Codecademy, and MDN Web Docs. Platforms like GitHub Docs and GitKraken also provide excellent guides and tutorials for beginners.

Responsive Design

Responsive design is a crucial aspect of front-end web development, ensuring that websites look and function well across a wide range of devices, from mobile phones to large desktop screens.

It focuses on creating flexible layouts, images, and components that automatically adjust to different screen sizes and orientations. This approach enhances user experience, boosts SEO, and reduces bounce rates by delivering a consistent browsing experience, regardless of the device.

Responsive design relies on key techniques like media queries, flexbox, and CSS grid to control the layout and structure of a website. Fluid grids and responsive images ensure content scales appropriately, while mobile-first design prioritises smaller screens before scaling up to larger devices.

Many front-end frameworks, like Bootstrap and Tailwind CSS, include built-in responsive design features, making it easier to create flexible layouts.

In modern front-end development, responsive design is essential, as mobile traffic continues to grow. It’s a core requirement for building professional websites and web applications.

To learn responsive design, consider resources like MDN Web Docs, W3Schools, and freeCodeCamp’s Responsive Web Design certification.

Books like Responsive Web Design with HTML5 and CSS by Ben Frain and platforms like Codecademy also offer comprehensive tutorials.

Building small projects and experimenting with media queries is a practical way to master this vital skill, ensuring your web pages deliver a seamless experience across all devices.

Conclusion

Mastering front-end web development skills like HTML & CSS, JavaScript, ES6, CSS & JS frameworks, GIT & GitHub, and responsive design is essential for building modern, high-performing websites.

These skills form the foundation of interactive, responsive, and visually appealing web pages. By leveraging powerful frameworks and adopting best practices, you can streamline your workflow and create exceptional user experiences.

With countless online resources available, from MDN Web Docs to freeCodeCamp, there’s never been a better time to start your front-end development journey. Keep practising, stay curious, and continue expanding your skill set to become a proficient developer.

Creating a simple website using HTML and CSS is the first step for beginners in web development. With just basic HTML for structure and CSS for styling, you can design a functional and visually appealing webpage. HTML defines the content using elements like headings, paragraphs, and images, while CSS enhances the layout with colors, fonts, and positioning. No advanced programming is required—just a text editor and a browser to view your work. By linking a CSS file to an HTML document, you can separate style from structure, making the design process more efficient. Whether it's a personal portfolio, a blog, or a business landing page, building a simple website with HTML and CSS is a great way to learn the fundamentals of web design. html and css website design html css website project html css simple website html and css sample code design a web page using html and css sample website in html and css html css website project html css simple website html and css sample code

From Frustration to Automation: Learning Selenium Made Simple

Learning Selenium can feel overwhelming at first, but with the right approach, you can transform frustration into seamless automation. Selenium is a powerful tool for automating web browsers, making it a must-have skill for testers and developers. If you want to advance your career at the Selenium Course in Pune, you need to take a systematic approach and join up for a course that best suits your interests and will greatly expand your learning path. While the learning curve may seem steep, breaking it down into manageable steps can make the journey much simpler. This blog outlines common challenges in learning Selenium and provides easy-to-follow solutions to help you succeed.

1. Selenium Requires a Mix of Skills

Selenium isn’t something you can master in isolation. For those looking to excel in Selenium, Selenium Online Course is highly suggested. Look for classes that align with your preferred programming language and learning approach. To use it effectively, you’ll need:

Programming knowledge in a language like Python, Java, or C#.

An understanding of web development concepts, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Familiarity with testing basics, such as test cases, assertions, and automation frameworks.

For beginners, juggling these skills might feel daunting, like trying to learn multiple subjects at once.

Solution: Start small. Focus on learning one programming language and the basics of web technologies before diving into Selenium-specific tasks.

2. Dynamic Web Pages Add Complexity

Modern web applications built with frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue often have dynamic and interactive components. These can make identifying and interacting with web elements more challenging, especially when they load asynchronously or change structure frequently.

Selenium can handle these scenarios, but figuring out the right locators and interaction methods can be tricky.

Solution: Learn how to use Selenium locators such as ID, XPath, and CSS selectors effectively. Browser developer tools (F12) are invaluable for inspecting and understanding the elements on a webpage.

3. Debugging Selenium Tests Can Be Frustrating

Failures in Selenium tests are common, and diagnosing them can feel like a guessing game. Is the problem due to a slow-loading element? A flawed locator? Or perhaps an unexpected browser behavior?

Solution: Use explicit waits to deal with dynamic content and reduce timing issues. Write meaningful logs and error messages to identify problems quickly. Screenshots and debugging tools can also provide clarity when tests fail.

4. The Initial Setup Feels Overwhelming

Getting started with Selenium requires setting up several tools, such as:

Web drivers (e.g., ChromeDriver, GeckoDriver) for browser interaction.

Test runners like PyTest or JUnit to manage and execute your tests.

Additional integrations with CI/CD pipelines, reporting tools, or cloud platforms for extended functionality.

For newcomers, this setup process can seem intimidating.

Solution: Follow detailed tutorials to configure your environment step by step. Start with simple projects and gradually expand as you gain confidence and experience.

5. Practice Is Key to Mastering Selenium

Like any skill, learning Selenium takes time and consistent practice. Writing robust and maintainable tests often involves trial and error, especially for complex web applications.

Solution: Be patient. Begin with small tasks, such as automating a login form, and gradually work your way up to more advanced projects. Celebrate your progress along the way to stay motivated.

Final Thoughts

Learning Selenium doesn’t have to be frustrating. By starting with the basics, addressing challenges step by step, and practicing regularly, you can simplify the learning process and master web automation. With persistence and the right mindset, you’ll soon turn frustration into a powerful ability to automate repetitive tasks and streamline workflows.
