Solution retrospective

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

Another neat little CSS challenge for beginners. This was one was pretty fun. So far I'm really enjoying these😁✌🏾.

P.S. - I added a little hover trick with the box shadow🤫...

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

I struggled a little trying to place a hover effect with the box shadow. Took me a while to figure out that you can actually sort of time how slow or fast the shadow moves. Hehe loved this.

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

Hover shadow effects.

Hello @Mali-billz!

Your solution looks great!

I have a couple of suggestions (about semantic HTML) for improvement:

📌 First: Use <main> to wrap the main content instead of <div>.

Think of <div> and <span> in HTML like plain boxes or placeholders. They're handy for holding content, but they don't tell us anything about what's inside or what it's meant for on the webpage.

📌 Second: Use <h1> for the main title instead of <h2>.

Unlike what most people think, it's not just about the size and weight of the text.

The <h1> to <h6> tags are used to define HTML headings.
<h1> defines the most important heading.
<h6> defines the least important heading.
Only use one <h1> per page - this should represent the main heading/title for the whole page. And don't skip heading levels - start with <h1>, then use <h2>, and so on.

All these tag changes may have little or any visual impact but they make your HTML code more semantic and improve SEO optimization as well as the accessibility of your project.

I hope it helps!

Other than that, great job!
