Intermediate HTML and CSS - Default Styles: Revise lesson about curriculum

[wise-king-sullyman]

@TheOdinProject/html-css thoughts here?

I think I'm on board with most of the suggestions here but would love some thoughts from others before I give a green light, especially those with more CSS knowledge.

Maybe @codyloyd can chime in?

This issue is stale because it has had no activity for the last 30 days.

I'd agree that a refresh could be nice for this lesson. To respond to some of your points:

• I'd agree with moving the actual resets out of assignments.
• Definitely worth investigating. I wouldn't be surprised if Myer is still the most popular despite the criticisms you mentioned, but still worth seeing if times have changed and there's a new "most popular" one
• 100% think that the lesson should less be "here's some resets to use" with links to them, and more "Here's what a reset is, how it can be used/useful, but don't just use them blindly". Conveying that resets should be a building block to achieve what a user/team needs - rather than a set it and forget it tool - I think would be a good update.
• Maybe depends how it's covered and whether it's really significant enough for the topic.

It'd be great if a lot of this content could be brought more in house rather than primarily linking to articles, too.

As to Myer you are probably right, not sure how that makes me feel lol. Your comment makes me realize the need to include some language about how the various resets and even wether or not to use them is a very subjective and opinonated decision, so learners realize this is a topic where one should absolutely make there own choices and not feel contstrained to something. IE there is no particular best practice here.

So am I good to start working on something? I can always do some stuff and then submit a PR for more collaborative editing.

I agree with all of the above statements. I say go for it.

I still think Myer might be a good baseline, cause it was like the original one... but feel free to say "it all started with Myer, but now the cool kids use XYZ" or whatever 😄

I think the distinction between opinionated and unopinionated is a good one.

@fabulousgk I moved this issue to 'in progress' assuming that you're going to begin work on it... if that is not the case, let me know and we can look for other contributors.

Thank you, I will start working on it.
