News Homepage using HTML, CSS & a bit of JS

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

After a period away from programming. I recently started taking a course and attempted this as a challenge based on what I'd already learnt. I am proud of how easily I was able to create the layout and apply the styling. As for what I would do differently next time, I would take some more time to draft out the layout for easier understanding

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

Creating the news section to start exactly where the elements above started was an issue. I over came this by just doing the very best I could and I can say I achieved a good part of it.

Another challenge was the menu close button icon and overlay. I overcame the close button issue in two ways; one was by using the unicode character "×" and two by declaring it as a background image. The overlay was achieved using boxShadow in JavaScript and toggling it on and off when the menu is opened and closed

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

My menu overlay isn't exactly the best menu overlay out there. So any reviews as to how to make that better would be appreciated
