Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
Did you have to resolve any issues when running the HTML Validator? If so, what were they?	I had a few closed ends that didn't snag up the page when the browser loaded it, so I never noticed until putting it through the validator.
Why is it important to consider and use semantic HTML?	Semantic HTML gives clearer meaning to your code. Breaks are not made at arbitrary places, but instead, the HTML is laid out in a way that indicates the significance of each section.
How did you decide to structure your CSS?	My layout is pretty basic. I have a normalize.css and a styles.css to keep formatting consistent throughout the project. Then, each separate page has it's own style sheet. The additional stylesheet I have is my iframe sheet, which I created because I have large chunks of material (my about me section) in multiple places. Both my index page and my about page needed to have a lot of the same formatting, so the iframe takes care of that, and then the two other stylesheets require it.
What was the most challenging piece of this assignment?	I am REALLY sorry, but I ended up using Javascript because I forgot that we weren't supposed to use it. That was the hardest part because I had to figure out how and where to use scripts, but I was already too deep in my plan to use an accordion button set to not have the JS in there. The panels would expand upon clicking, but wouldn't stay expanded unless you kept your mouse clicked and when I Googled solutions they were all in JS. I'M SORRY.
Describe one area that you gained more clarity on when completing this assignment	I gained more clarity on using flex for formatting, and in using a general style sheet for carrying styles over multiple pages. It's really neat to have consistency without having to re-type everything repeatedly!
Optional
Did you deploy to GitHub Pages? If so, what is the URL to your website?	Yes. I currently have a redirect, so if you go to macaria.dev it should take you to my website. If not, try mdove92.github.io
