This site is a WordPress theme for the website Quotes on Dev, a creation of Red Academy used for students to practice their WordPress API skills. This site is a culmination of several static pages, such as an about page and tag and category archives, as well as a REST API home screen that accesses a JSON database to produce quotes using a jQuery .onclick function. It is also a responsive site, using SASS media queries with mobile, tablet, and desktop modes.

- WordPress REST API
In this site, I learned how to use REST API's in conjunction with WordPress.
First you will need to download WordPress at https://wordpress.org/. Place the extracted version of WordPress (it will download as a zip file) into your MAMP/htdocs folder, and rename it to quotesondev. In the wp-content folder,under themes, add the theme quotesondev from this repo.
Using your localhost/quotesondev, log in, adding your password and username. Then, in your admin dashboard, simply select the quotesondev theme in your themes section.
