After developing your motivation for learning to code<\/a>, you want to brainstorm about the structure and content of your site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A website that examines zoonotic diseases, particularly from bats to humans, for a general audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My first approach is simply to jot down ideas on paper. Write down any random thought related to your project. Don’t worry about structure or making sense of it, yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some people skip the thoughts on paper step and jump straight into utilizing a mind mapping tool. That’s fine if there’s mind mapping software that you already use and are comfortable with. But don’t delay by thinking you have to use a particular piece of software.
