The Daring Dragons destination imagination team's webpage's source code, a backup of this repository. Our website is built with HTML, CSS, and Javascript, and is a showcase of our DI team. Instead of making our webpage using Wix or Google Sites, we decided to create it using HTML, CSS, and Javascript to customize our site more. This repository is usually updated weekly with backups of the code used to run the website. Our website is hosted through GitHub Pages here, and receives international traffic! (From over 20 countries!)
You can see the most recent version of our code here.

Thanks for reading and happy coding!
Understanding Repositories:
Our team has decided to split all of its data across two GitHub repositories. Below is a table that we have created to outline the differences.
https://github.com/ahujaesh/ahujaesh.github.io | https://github.com/ahujaesh/daringdragonswebpage (This repository) |
---|---|
All the website files (Images, robot.txt, ect.) | Website backups (v12 - v1) |
All of the website's data | Website Changelog (What we changed in each version) |
Hosts the website through GitHub pages | X |
Follow for up to date website information | Follow for notifications on website releases |
Why?
The reason why we have two repositories is because previously, we used a service called repl.it for hosting, and we only used GitHub for website backups. Eventually, repl.it ended its free hosting (Leading to the loss of all our GSC data), so we had to use GitHub pages (Which is objectively better). To use GitHub pages, we needed to have a repository called .github.io or .github.io, so we had to create a new repository.
Changelog:
(Note - If you see a version's changelog but cannot see the folder with the code for it, it is currently being finalized and will be posted soon.)
(Note (again) - if the dates don't line up with the version numbers on the folders, know that I had to rename some folders to get them all to fall under the same naming convention, so the last changed date may be off from the date the code was changed.)

Note:
if you see some .txt files called "ignoreme.txt" or something, know that I created them just to create the folder that they are in. I don't know how to create a folder without creating a file to reside inside it. If you are reading this and you do know how, please leave a comment or shoot me an email here. Thank you!
