Use HTML & CSS to create a static site whose content is your portfolio. Your personal portfolio site should contain information about you and the coding work you've done.

This is an individual, stage 2 project.

• Practice creating semantic HTML
• Practice applying visual styles with CSS
• Use both HTML & CSS together to create a comprehensive design

This is an individual project. It consists of a baseline and a single wave. You are only permitted to use static HTML and CSS for this project. Preprocessors (haml, erb, sass, less, etc.) and Javascript of any kind are not allowed. All submitted HTML needs to pass as valid HTML through an HTML Validator.

• Create an index.html that has the necessary meta information to link a stylesheet called styles.css.
• Add a <header>, <footer>, and <nav> to your index.html.
• Create a portfolio.html page that also includes styles.css.
• Include a link to both pages in the <nav> on both pages.

• Add pages to your static site. The requirement is a minimum of four pages. These pages should be:
  • index.html
  • portfolio.html: information about the projects you've completed at Ada (or elsewhere) with links (to GitHub repo), descriptions, images, etc.
  • code-journal.html or hobby-blog.html: article or blog style posts about either your journey/observations about programming or a hobby you enjoy
  • about.html: some information about you, your interests, background or similar. Only post what you're comfortable sharing!
• The site should follow best practices including:
  • All markup should be semantic, with consideration of hierarchy and accessibility
  • CSS should be concise and well formatted
  • Images and stylesheets should be kept in their own folders, called images and stylesheets, respectively
• Run your site through an HTML Validator and fix all errors before submitting

• Create a blog/ or code-journal/ directory. Within this directory...
  • create single html file for each entry in your blog/journal
  • update the nav on the rest of your site to reference each entry as a sublist/subnav.
  • update any tags with path references (img, link, a tags) to accommodate for the entries being in a different directory.
• Create any number of additional pages or directories.

A lot of developers find their initial foray into CSS frustrating. Every browser implements the CSS standard a little (or a lot) differently. Learning to manipulate elements and understand the box model takes time. Layout can be especially challenging to developers new to CSS. For this project, focus on understanding the mechanics and semantics of HTML and CSS, and how the two work together.
