Congratulations! You're submitting your assignment!

Comprehension Questions

Question Answer
Did you have to resolve any issues when running the HTML Validator? If so, what were they? I forgot to add alt tags to all my footer elements. Also, the validator didn't like the video I included in my html, it said that maybe I could add it using css. I do not have time to try but I will look into it later.
Why is it important to consider and use semantic HTML? This is important in readability. Semantic HTML makes it easer for anyone to read so that if changes need to be made in the html or the css, then it will be much less complicated.
How did you decide to structure your CSS? I created a main css page that was only to be used for my index.html, I had a header and footer css page that kept the header and footer css styling consistent through the about, portfolio, and hobby page. And then I had separate css pages for specific styling of each html page.
What was the most challenging piece of this assignment? Getting everything to line up they way I wanted. Definitely got easier over time, but it was a challenge throughout.
Describe one area that you gained more clarity on when completing this assignment After attending tutoring on Saturday, I was able to understand relative and absolute positioning better. I am able to envision what will happen when they are used in certain situations. There is still some things about it that aren't clear to me but hopefully further understanding will come with more practice.

What We're Looking For

Feature Feedback
Baseline
Appropriate Git Usage Yes
Answered comprehension questions Yes - I appreciate the pieces you worked on and saw more practice here
Page fully loads Yes
No broken links (regular or images) Yes
Includes at least 4 pages and styling Yes
HTML
Uses the high-level tags for organization: header, footer, main Yes
Appropriately using semantic tags: section, article, etc. Yes
All images include alternate text Yes - nice job
CSS I like the way you described structuring the css in different files
Using class and ID names in style declarations Yes, some. You used a class for dates and IDs for some of the specific sections.
Style declarations are DRY Somewhat - for example, in your h4s on the hobbies page, you're duplicating styles depending on which containing element they're in. If you added a class to these instead, you could utilize shared styles and only use these selectors for the styles that were unique.
Overall You did a nice job on the overall style/vibe. I like the way you've utilized images on the hobbies page. I like the way you've embedded real projects, images and the video. One thing that might be nice to research is marking the nav item you're currently on so the nav is updated. (research active possibly). Your HTML looks good - some room for improvement on DRYing up CSS styles, but the application of it overall looks good.

Great job with this site Theresa! I really like the simple design and your index.html page is lovely. The CSS image slider on the hobbies page is especially cool.

I corrected typos, but if those don't bother you, then please feel free to ignore :) In terms of things to work on, DRYing up your CSS (and perhaps HTML as well) will help you target elements more specifically. I suggested a few things for accessibility purposes as well.

If you have questions please feel free to email me at laurenfriesbrink@gmail.com!

Where does this <a> tag lead to? Generally it's best practice to include an href with an a -- see Rule 10 here.

I believe img tags need a title attribute for accessibility that describes what the image is.

Overall great responsiveness on your site -- this image tends to shrink weirdly with narrow screens.

I have no standing to recommend this, because I didn't do it myself on my own static site, but I have a suggestion on these links to your Github repos! Edit the README to remove the information about the assignment and include more about your particular version. This is a super-simple way to help readers (and future employers) see what you've done on a project.

For instance -- my capstone README here: https://github.com/laurenfb/knitsights. (Obviously no need to write that long, of course!)

Dogs have been a part of my whole life. My dad always trained our family dogs to be suitible hunting dogs. This his dog training influence, I have always had a passion towards training and caring for dogs. This has lead me to be the neighborhood dog walker ever since I was in middle school. I currently walk dogs as a side job along with caring for other animals. Pictured above is the newest adition to my family, Stella Bear.

I think this file could be DRYed up a little bit -- a lot of things seems to overlap.
