What We're Looking For

Feature	Feedback
Baseline
Appropriate Git Usage	no - As with Ruby code, when developing HTML/CSS it's important to keep a record of what changed and why. Please make sure to focus on git hygiene in future projects.
Answered comprehension questions	yes
Page fully loads	yes
No broken links (regular or images)	no - all the links in your site used absolute paths. This is something like /Users/mariana/ada/projects/week6/Static-Site/index.html, where it goes all the way from the root of the filesystem (/) to the current directory. While this works on your computer, it does not work on mine, because I do not have any folder named /Users/mariana. Instead, you should use relative paths, paths originating from the current directory, like index.html. The way to tell the difference is that absolute paths always begin with a /, whereas relative paths never do. I was able to do a search and replace in all your project files and get the site to load as expected.
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	no - Alt text is important both if the image doesn't load and as something for accessibility tools to work with. Adding it to all images is a requirement in this course.
CSS
Using class and ID names in style declarations	no - make sure you're familiar with these concepts, as they'll become even more important once we start working with JavaScript.
Style declarations are DRY	no - It looks like you've got the same stylings for header and footer in the CSS for each page. It might be cleaner to extract these shared styles to another stylesheet, and have each html page contain two stylesheet links, one to the shared styles and one to the page-specific ones.
Overall	This is a good start. The page is attractive and easy to navigate, but many of the details about how you use CSS are not where I would like them to be. Whether or not you're particularly interested in design, being able to use CSS is an important skill, and it would be worthwhile to spend some extra time studying this.

I did really appreciate the section on math news. A page after my own heart!
