I found this theme super customizable which is awesome because I was looking forward to the design aspect of this project. Due to the digital nature of this sites purpose, I went for a tech\/futuristic look. I included some edited images of the American Dogwood flower to create the black, white, and green color palette. I chose the American Dogwood flower to be the figurehead for this site because I wanted to include nature to contrast with the other tech elements in this design. The American Dogwood is also the national flower of Virginia, so I thought it would be nice to tie that in. <\/p>\n<p>Something new I learned about WordPress is that the themes all have different customizability levels making some more efficient than others. At first, I had a hard time finding a theme that did everything I wanted because I was choosing one based on how I wanted mine to look in the end rather than one that provided a good base. <\/p>\n<p>A fun fact about me is that I was a competitive gymnast for 7 years. So, for my YouTube video to embed I choose my childhood favorite gymnast Shawn Johnson&#8217;s 2008 Olympics Qualifying Balance Beam routine. I genuinely think it is one of the best beam routines of all time so I would recommend watching! <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Thanks for tuning in to my blog, check back in soon for a new update.
