Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
Did you have to resolve any issues when running the HTML Validator? If so, what were they?	A lot of "alt" issues with my images. Also, it caught several places where I'd misplaced/misspelled tag names!
Why is it important to consider and use semantic HTML?	Because using Semantic HTML indicates meaning to the servers using it. It tells the server what kind of information it is getting--it is just a section, or is it an article? Semantic html can tell the server that
How did you decide to structure your CSS?	I had one CSS file that had general rules for the entire website (like header/footer rules), and then each page had a CSS file. Mostly, my css is laid out sequentially, except in areas where there might be a rule that I wanted for an element on that entire page, in which case, I would try to specify that ruleset as close to the top of the document as possible.
What was the most challenging piece of this assignment?	Since I don't have much of an eye for design or know much about it, I spent an ungodly amount of time trying to make it just not look ugly--which was a big time suck and became very frustrating. I think that really impeded my ability to expand my skills because I was so wrapped up in mostly-simple details. I'd like to work on this more in the future so I can integrate more complex CSS stuff in future iterations of my site.
Describe one area that you gained more clarity on when completing this assignment	I feel much more confident that I can figure out what is wrong with my website when something doesn't work. I spent most of last week not really understanding why things didn't move as I expected them to, but this weekend I got much better at predicting what I needed to do to get the behavior I wanted from my elements.

you actually can leave off the :nth-child(n) bit! when you just have n as the parameter here, it just targets every article

Good work!

Regarding your comprehension question answers:
You said that Semantic HTML was for the servers. I may say that semantic HTML is for:

• you
• people reading your HTML
• web crawlers (not necessarily servers)
