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

I am relatively pleased with this and I feel it looks good on the browser. I am pleased with the positioning of the card on the screen, for this I used margin-top 8rem, and margin left and right auto. If I was to do this project again I perhaps would use CSS Flexbox to position the card in the middle of the screen. I am also pleased with how the anchor tags worked in "social links" section.

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

Once again my greatest challenge was structuring the html. Too many outer containers, this is because I am attempting to use semantic HTML. I have an "main" outer container and within that I have "section" called "container." Should I not just used main as outer container?

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

Structuring the HTML.

Hello @John-Davidson-8!

Your project looks great!

Using margin is not the best option to center an element. Here's a very efficient (and better) way to place an element in the middle of the page both vertically and horizontally:

📌 Apply this to the body (in order to work properly, don't use position or margins):

body {
    min-height: 100vh;
    display: flex;  /* it works with grid too  */
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
}

I hope it helps!

Other than that, great job!
