Learned about the different paths required for static files (but still not exactly sure why)
- Maybe the collectstatic command reduces file sizes or improves efficiency of the original STATICFILES_DIRS in production or something
Found out that the style.css page is in fact being referenced
Found out that the background parameter in the body tag in style.css is what changes the overall background of the site
- This is where the nodes for Floaty Notes will need to float around
Found out that I can no longer alter this parameter after the Navigation section of style.css.

Finished the post and uploaded it here
Found out that some of my links didn't have a blank target, so the links wouldn't open a new tab they would redirect the user to a new page
- Added target blanks to open new tabs
Deleted staticfiles folder and used the one true static folder for css/js utilities.

Added a label for male and female faces (using basic CSS)
Fixed the tooltip at the bottom to fit the x-axis instead of across the entire bottom of the screen by adjusting the tooltip div
Added a legend for male and female faces
- Can't get the positioning quite right

Updated the Heroku CLI
The site is now accessible using the subdomain www.dimmin.com
- This still re-routes to a version of the app without the SSL certificate, but that will be a change that I need to make in the actual DIMMiN App itself.
- For whatever reason this is not a problem on chrome browsers, but edge keeps giving me issues. Not sure exactly why but edge was just being a pain in the butt.
- Occasionally can access the site using dimmin.com, but that might just be an issue with my personal devices
  - Specifically having trouble accessing it on mobile from my own device
Began using Anaconda to manage Virtual Environments
Transferred credentials for Environment Variables
Got a Local Version of the DIMMiN App up and running on my new laptop
Updated the Copyright at the bottom of the screen (found in base.html) so that it always displays the current year
Added a Staging environment and app (though it's not really used)
Updated the DIMMiN App in Production
Updated the app so that http requests redirect to https
