12,030 PointsBuilt my Resume prototype site with Bootstrap
Admittedly, I should have created a custom Bootstrap for this, so some of the styling done in my style.css file is technically unnecessary, but I wanted some practice after learning the Bootstrap basics.
UPDATE View this at Codio: https://groggy-acoria.codio.io/
It's not fully responsive yet, though, but I'd still like feedback.
Thanks!

12,030 PointsI tried Codepen, too, but again, it doesn't properly link to external CSS or multiple CSS files.
There's no way to create more than one CSS file and it doesn't want to load Bootstrap properly while running against my style.css.
It also doesn't seem to properly load the external JS.
If you want to waste time pasting in everything, it will run the JS from a single file, but running all of the Bootstrap.js and Jquery.js in a single file takes forever to load.
I've used Codio instead, and it works just fine.

12,030 Points@James Barnett I just took a look at Runnable but I don't understand how I'd host my site there. It looks like a "new Runnable" only allows you to create a backend platform, which I don't know how to do.
My site is just HTML, CSS and Javascript (Bootstrap), so I'm not sure how this helps.
James Barnett
39,199 PointsIt's pretty simple, I searched for "bootstrap" on runnable, found a project, removed most of the and just left a essentials.
Fork this and us it, http://runnable.com/U3ZaTz3rXZZdiUtI/bootstrap-demo-for-css

12,030 PointsYeah I just set up a NodeJS server and it's buggy as hell. I tried uploading my files and about half of them say "file already exists" and the rest don't show up.
I cut and pasted the CSS & HTML into new files, but all I get is the server's "Hello World" default message.
Seems like a huge pain in the #@%$ just to show off some simple Bootstrap design.
James Barnett
39,199 PointsDon't use NodeJS, you aren't writing backend server code.
Chris Shaffer
12,030 PointsI don't see any option on that site that seems the obvious choice for what I need.
The closest thing I can see is Javascript which produces the same results.
James Barnett
39,199 PointsThere isn't an obvious choice as it turns out for CSS code. The easiest choice is PHP, because plain HTML is valid in a PHP file.
You can also check out http://plnkr.co/ or http://codepen.io to see if those are more to your liking.
Chris Shaffer
12,030 PointsOkay, but this is what I get when I choose "Create New" http://runnable.com/new
Chris Shaffer
12,030 PointsYeah I just tried to use your Bootstrap demo and everything I try to drag/drop to upload says "File Already Exists".
Also, about every other time I try to load that site it either says "Something went wrong" or "We're Down".
Not sure this is a very good option. It should be easier than this. I'm not clear why the only options they show for starting a new project are for backend code.
Chris Shaffer
12,030 PointsI would just do this on Codio which is FAR easier than just about anything, but for some reason the JS won't execute and I can't tell why.
Chris Shaffer
12,030 PointsI just figured it out by viewing in the console. For some reason, the line for Jquery I had in there was not on HTTPS and so the modals didn't function.
I've corrected this and it seems to be working on Codio just fine.

39,199 PointsRather than use dropbox for your demo and have people download a file, use runnable instead.
