    Hey iusemodx, haha its funny you say that because we have def locked horns before. But later I figured out you were totally right when I had to build a quick mobile site smiley So mea culpa from me to you.

    That's a lot of useful info there for sure. Its very useful at this point in a person's development, when the initial hacking is done and its time to see the bigger picture. Going through the code, now that its familiar, and organizing it is a great way to gain control and understanding.

    I think your complaint was my using stuff like <header> imprecisely. Sorry about that and thanks for the correction. Its very good effort, thank you.

    Also, thinking a bit more, its incredibly important to choose your css selectors correctly. Part of the fun of css is considering how best to target what you want. Do I want to lump some design elements together so I can change the whole color scheme quickly, or do I need to separate them for some reason? If I lump them together maybe a define a class for all of them then style that class, but then I must be careful not to target some of those elements in other ways (regarding the same aspects), like from their <div> for example.

    Well, imprecise language again, but HTH. [ed. note: nuan88 last edited this post 8 years, 7 months ago.]

      How good is your understanding of HTML + CSS ?

      @lusemodx: well, not at all advanced, though significantly better than it was about a week ago (when it was more or less zero). You're certainly not going to tread on my toes by assuming I'm extremely inexperienced here & I'm grateful for the examples - I've downloaded them and found them very useful in visualising what's going on.

      I downloaded MODX with the intention of making a simple site for a musical project I'm involved in, but I've found it an enjoyable learning process and over the next few months I'm probably going to see if I can put together a few little sites for friends and family, too.
