  Hello LukasBFrontend!!! Your solution for the "Blog preview card" looks good and well structured. Here are suggestions for improving your HTML code in terms of best practices, performance, and SEO:

  • Best Practices Semantic HTML:

  The <article> element is used correctly for the main content, but the <aside> tag for the date is unnecessary. Instead, use a <time> element with the datetime attribute to better represent the publication date.

  Example:

  <time id="publish-date" datetime="2023-12-21">Published 21 Dec 2023</time>
  

  • Image Path Consistency:

  Make sure your image paths are consistent (use forward slashes /), especially in the portrait image path where you're using backslashes .

  Example:

  <img id="portrait" alt="portrait" src="assets/images/image-avatar.webp">
  

  • Class and ID Naming:

  It’s best to follow consistent naming conventions. Since id is unique, reserve it for specific elements that you expect to be one of a kind on the page. You might use classes like .card-image, .author-section, .author-name for better scalability and maintainability.

  • Performance Image Optimization:

  Add loading="lazy" to images to improve page load speed by deferring offscreen images.

  Example:

  <img id="illustration" alt="weird thing" src="assets/images/illustration-article.svg" loading="lazy">
  <img id="portrait" alt="portrait" src="assets/images/image-avatar.webp" loading="lazy">
  

  • SEO Improvements Title Tag:

  Make the title more descriptive and relevant for SEO:

  Example:

  <title>HTML & CSS Foundations | Blog Preview Card Example</title>
  

  • Meta Description:

  Add a meta description to improve SEO:

  Example:

  <meta name="description" content="Learn about the foundations of HTML & CSS, the backbone of every website, defining structure, content, and presentation.">
  

  • Heading Hierarchy:

  Ensure proper heading hierarchy. You have an <h2> but no <h1>. Ideally, every page should have a single <h1> to represent the main heading.

  Example:

  <h1>HTML & CSS Foundations</h1>
  

  • Accessibility Image Alt Text:

  Improve alt text to be more descriptive of the image content.

  Example:

  <img id="illustration" alt="Illustration showing HTML and CSS" src="assets/images/illustration-article.svg" loading="lazy">
  <img id="portrait" alt="Portrait of Greg Hooper, the author" src="assets/images/image-avatar.webp" loading="lazy">
  

  • ARIA for Accessibility:

  If necessary, consider adding ARIA labels to improve accessibility on links and interactive elements.

  • Minor Code Improvements Hidden Attribution: The attribution is currently hidden using display: none. If you want to keep it hidden but still accessible for screen readers, consider using aria-hidden="true".

  Example:

  <div class="attribution" aria-hidden="true">
    Challenge by <a href="https://www.frontendmentor.io?ref=challenge" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Frontend Mentor</a>. 
    Coded by <a href="#">Your Name Here</a>.
  </div>
  

  These changes will enhance the performance, SEO, accessibility, and code maintainability of your project. You did great. Keep it up!!!
