I know that there is a lot for me still to learn. My next goal will be to re-factor this project as I get more experience with best practices.

My main question is: Can I keep the background image centered when I resize the window in only one direction?

    Hi @carlin-mitchell, first of all, welcome to this amazing community, and you did really nice work on your first challenge👏.

    And yes there's a huge room to learn the best practices which you'll learn eventually by practicing. Just a suggestion from my side is to keep working on the project consistently and take a look at others' code but don't carry it away by the approach of others. Every one of us has our own style of coding the things you should learn is the best practice and what you like in others' code. Create your own style of code while keeping the best practices in mind.

    For your question: leave the background image to the top only, it'll mess with the design if you centered it.

    Congratulations on submitting your first solution🎉🎉🎉. It's a long and beautiful way to go. Keep learning and practicing. Happy Coding :)

    P.S: take a look at your accessibility and HTML issues and try to fix them. And yeah, Every mistake is an opportunity to learn something new, so never miss it.👍

    Hey @carlin-mitchell,

    You can. To keep the background image centered, you can remove the background-size declaration. Its default value is auto. So you can resize your window wherever you like and it will scale accordingly while maintaining its aspect ratio. Same with background-position: top;. You won't need it because the default value is top-left.

How does the accessibility report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use axe-core to run an automated audit of your code.

This picks out common accessibility issues like not using semantic HTML and not having proper heading hierarchies, among others.

This automated audit is fairly surface level, so we encourage to you review the project and code in more detail with accessibility best practices in mind.

How does the CSS report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use stylelint to run an automated check on the CSS code.

We've added some of our own linting rules based on recommended best practices. These rules are prefixed with frontend-mentor/ which you'll see at the top of each issue in the report.

The report will audit 1st-party linked stylesheets, and styles within <style> tags.

How does the HTML validation report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use html-validate to run an automated check on the HTML code.

The report picks out common HTML issues such as not using headings within section elements and incorrect nesting of elements, among others.

Note that the report can pick up “invalid” attributes, which some frameworks automatically add to the HTML. These attributes are crucial for how the frameworks function, although they’re technically not valid HTML. As such, some projects can show up with many HTML validation errors, which are benign and are a necessary part of the framework.
