blog card using HTML/CSS

What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

Although I think it took a long time to complete this small project, I'm happy to have completed it without needing any hints/solutions.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

I'm still getting used to using flexbox and trying to get divs centered in divs properly. For now, padding and margin seem to solve some problems, but I'm sure it won't work on more complex problems/designs

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

I went down the list of HTML to do the CSS. Is there any redundancies or items I could take out to make the code more streamlined? Also, could I make the HTML tags more semantic? I know using CSS variables for these small projects aren't necessary, but I like the practice.
