Solution retrospective


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

I'm getting better at understanding how to shape and organize elements on the website using margin, padding and flexbox. I'm also proud of using chaining selectors to reduce retyping code, even if it's only a few lines. I want to work on making small adjustments to one section of code at a time rather than trying to think about everything at once.

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

I found an issue with spacing and sizing elements to fit the example. I had to review how padding and margin works on elements which then gave me the clarity to make the changes.

I also never remembered how hover worked and changing the mouse icon to a finger pointer. I read up on hover from w3schools, then downloaded and added a new icon to the images folder for the mouse.

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

I want to know how to use chaining and other techniques to reduce errors and overall editing with CSS. I also want to know if there's a better way to position elements rather than what I had used.
