Solution retrospective

What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

I am happy with how the project looks. I think it is very close to the Figma file, and I also centred the card using CSS Flexbox with justify-content (centre) and align-items (centre). This works well on all projects and can be done with CSS Grid also.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

I often have problems structuring my HTML on every project. Over-coding is the phrase I use, whereby I have too many outer containers which as I move on to the CSS styling I see that they are unnecessary. However, the blog card looks ok on the browser, so although I could refactor the code, I would come out with the same result on the browser.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

As I mentioned in the last section I tend to add too many containers. In this project I have a semantic main acting as an outer container and also semantic section acting as another container within the semantic main container. I am also attempting to get to grips with grouping elements and classes in the CSS. This will take time to understand.

    Hello @John-Davidson-8!

    Your project looks great!

    • Using margin is not the best option to center an element. Here's a very efficient (and better) way to place an element in the middle of the page both vertically and horizontally:

    📌 Apply this to the body (in order to work properly, don't use position or margins):

    body {
    min-height: 100vh;
    display: flex;  /* it works with grid too  */
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
}

    I hope it helps!

    Other than that, great job!
