Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
Did you have to resolve any issues when running the HTML Validator? If so, what were they?	The main issue I had and still have are "section lacks heading" which I interpreted as a warning and not an issue. I created many sections to assist using FLEX and GRID to get the structures organized and I didn't see the need to add heading to those.
Why is it important to consider and use semantic HTML?	Because it uses elements for their own purpose so people know what they represent and browsers know how to display those elements.
How did you decide to structure your CSS?	I created a main css file called "style" for my home page holding the "nav", "contact" and "footer" layouts for all 4 pages. Then I created one css file for each extra page and tried to reuse the layouts on the css files as DRY as possible relating all four pages (home, about me, projects and blog).
What was the most challenging piece of this assignment?	First challenge was the use of GRID and FLEX and learning all new html tags and css properties and use of selectors. The second challenge was the design itself, I tried to add colors to the background etc. (which is pretty easy in CSS) but I thought that by doing that the design looked outdated so I decided to keep it black and white so it looks cleaner and more modern to me.
Describe one area that you gained more clarity on when completing this assignment	I learned a lot about when and how to used FLEX and GRID and how to start the design by drawing my layout on a paper/tablet and working on the html first by "pseudocoding" and getting the css to follow it as I add on the style. The livecode from Dee was very helpful to find a web development process that worked for me.
Optional
Did you deploy to GitHub Pages? If so, what is the URL to your website?	I decided not to add my page to GitHub Pages.
