What I learned

For this project, I leveraged the :hover pseudo-class to provide users with a more interactive experience. By doing so, I was able to showcase clickable links and enhance the overall interactivity of the project.

I utilized the :hover pseudo-class on the H1, button, and author's name to enhance user interactivity and display clickable links.

button:hover {
  background-color: var(--black);
  color: var(--yellow);
  cursor: pointer;
}

h1:hover {
  color: var(--yellow);
  cursor: pointer;
  caret-color: var(--black);
}

.author p:hover {
  color: var(--yellow);
  cursor: pointer;
}

Continued development

I feel that there is still room for improvement in my understanding of certain concepts. Specifically, I would like to gain a better grasp on the Mobile-first workflow, CSS Grid Layout Module, and Flexbox, and incorporate more advanced techniques into my CSS usage.
