It is a common sentiment when doing something new that requires significant learning but lends creative license once even partially learned: this was pretty difficult initially and then fun once I got the hang of it. HTML I did not find terribly difficult to work with and was glab the language was somewhat intuitive. However, I struggled with CSS before really greasping an understanding of how it links up (I say that figuratively) with HTML. Classes and IDs allow for interesting customization, and once I started looking at style guides I found there were a variety of things I could do.
What was imperative on this project was putting all files in the same directory. Initially, I had not done that and thus changing my CSS file yielded little effect. Additionally, moving everything to the same directory allowed me to link up my webpage with the webpage created in the first exercise via the Github desktop app.
