Hi there, welcome to the very first "Dillons Adventures In Coding" blog post. In 2016, I became the youngest person to climb to the highest point of every county in Ireland. I coded a website to keep track of my progress, giving each county a page on my site with the route I used and pictures of the walk. To create my website I used skills learned at Coderdojo Mallow and online resources. While doing the challenge I raised funds for Kildorrery Karate and Cloyne Diocesan Youth Services. To raise the money, I went around to local businesses and offered them an advert on my website if they sponsored me. To host my website I used GitHub. As well as all the details of the 32 county high point challenge the website has a “2017 Adventures” page. On this page I kept track of all outdoor activities I did in 2017. I hoped this might help people get outdoors walking, cycling, etc. when they saw the routes, pictures and stories I posted. I also had a page about myself, one to explain the challenge, and a gallery. I had pages for awards and media coverage as well as a page with useful links. When I had the challenge completed I added a page to tell others what they needed if they wanted to do the challenge. Thanks for taking the time to read my blog and please check out my website at https://dillons32chpchallenge.github.io/progress/. I moved to a Blog to keep track of my adventures after 2017.
