It works!

So I got my new "Contact Us" form working on my main website and on my LS Enterprises site finally. I had worked through a tutorial I found online, but ran into issue after issue, so I tried out a different contact page tutorial I found on mailtrap.io's site (THANK YOU!!), and managed to get it working. So now you can email me by going to either lsenterprises.com/contact/ and filling out the form, or by going to lennyshort.com/contact/ and filling out that form. They're not pretty yet, but I'm satisfied for the moment. Coding blows my mind with all the little details. I would imagine that feeling is rather common among people who do this sort of thing every day, but for a relative novice like me, it's still staggering how much you have to know in order to put a website online start-to-finish like I've done. From getting an AS number from ARIN to setting up a colocation account at the data center to procuring a secondhand server and router and figuring out how to set them up to installing all kinds of software and dealing with the issues that lie therein to the actual coding of the website's backend code to making it look pretty, it's mind-numbing when I try to take all of it in. And I've just scratched the surface so far I think. On a side note, I'm going out to Oregon in a few days for Christmas. My brother is bringing his wife and 3 kids with him so it will be a full house at Mom's this year. I'm looking forward to the change of scenery. I'll be driving a rental car there and back mainly because I don't trust my old truck to make the journey any more. After my birthday comes and goes in January I'll be looking into trading it in on something newer, so I'm looking forward to that too (cautiously). It will be a learning experience for me because I've never bought a vehicle with a trade-in before, plus I'll have to get financing for it. When I bought my first new car years ago I got the financing done through GM which was easy, but this time around I'm hoping to get it financed through my credit union so I can get a better interest rate. We will see.
