Congratulations! You're submitting your assignment!

Comprehension Questions

Question Answer
Did you have to resolve any issues when running the HTML Validator? If so, what were they? Yes, I had an extra, empty img tag floating around, as well as an extra curly bracket that I hadn't commented out, which was messing up the way my CSS was formatting my web site.
Why is it important to consider and use semantic HTML? It is important to consider and use semantic HTML because it helps to organize and structure the contents of a web page so that one might easily reference specific parts of the page to stylize them with CSS. Using semantic HTML helps to set up your contents in containers, or tag them in groups in ways that allow you to stylize many elements at once, and helps give other people looking at your html to understand how/why you've grouped certain contents together.
How did you decide to structure your CSS? Each page had three major elements: the fixed header, which included the navigation bar, the main content section, and a footer with a social media button row that went to the bottom of the page. Depending on the page type, the elements in the main content section were given different widths, and were given different display values. Most pages had main content sections where the display was flex box, to have adjustable elements that would wrap when needed.
What was the most challenging piece of this assignment? Figuring out how I wanted to structure my content, and which tags were most meaningful to group my content. I am also still working through how to write more succinct CSS, and floating and centering elements within their parent containers.
Describe one area that you gained more clarity on when completing this assignment I believe I gained more clarity on how flex display works, and how to utilize features like the flex-wrap, order, and more to get my html elements to display the way I intended them to.

Regarding your comprehension question answers:
You hit the "semantic html" question with the answer that it helps people (including yourself) understand the meaning of the HTML. It's less about styling

Good job using semantic HTML like <article> to clearly markup your HTML!
