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

I'm most proud of the table formatting for this project. It was one of the most challenging parts of this project for me and learning how to structure and style the component was quite rewarding especially once I figured it out. I think for future projects, I want to take more notes on my process as well as figuring out ways to best structure my code, so that it's as efficient and effective as possible.

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

A major challenge I faced was figuring out how to change the colors of the markers for the list items and how to position them so that they weren't so close to the text. That took quite a bit of looking over the web.dev pages and googling for additional resources. I also did some experimentation by playing around with the values until I was satisfied with the spacing.

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

I spent quite a lot of time trying to figure out how to reposition the container after I resized the window, but I wasn't able to figure out how to do it properly. When you resize the window, the recipe page is responsize (so it is readjusted to fit the screen), but there are still margins at the top and bottom that exist that I wasn't able to figure out how to remove. I was using the @media screen query to help me with it, and so it's half working, but not exactly what I want.

Hi maggiechua

Good work on the solution, the bullet points were a tricky part for me as well.

[ Edit: ] I see your media query isn't working due to ordering.

"Order of appearance: In the origin with precedence, if there are competing values for a property that are in style block matching selectors of equal specificity and scoping proximity, the last declaration in the style order is applied"

So your media query is being overwritten by your default styles as they are position after the query.

Instead, try a mobile first approach to make things easier to organise by writing your default styles first and then adding min-width queries at the bottom for any changes, I find it easier.

Also, instead of controlling the maximum width using relative margins, you could apply a maximum width to the element and center it using flexbox/grid or the following.
```
@media screen and (min-width: 960px) {
 .container {
    max-width: [whatever value you want]
    margin-inline: auto;
  }
}
```
Feel free to ask any questions, and keep up the good work!
