I recently used HTML and CSS to create an invitation to a Halloween Party. I bolded and italicized words using HTML. I used CSS to create a box model for my content. I applied the CSS with a combination of internal CSS and inline CSS.

Since I use HTML and CSS quite often during my job, I was pretty familiar with this language. However, after reading over the assigned readings for HTML and CSS, I encountered some obstacles. I never realized how many bad habits I have picked up during coding. I also never noticed how much I mix internal CSS and inline CSS. This caused me to sometimes assign two different stylings to the same piece of content.

By reviewing the tutorials and websites provided, this helped me pinpoint my bad habits and correct them. I also decided to always use internal CSS unless I was using a span to wrap content. When a span was being used, I would apply the inline styling to that content. 

Completing this project helped me learn that it's always important to take a step back and review the basics. This project was a great refresher on some skills I learned early in my career that I have since forgot. 

I will use this skill in my professional life. From now on when I am coding emails for my company, I will pay better attention to how I am applying CSS. This will help me create cleaner and better code. This project will also help me with future projects in this class. I will make sure I know the foundations of each project before I try to dive in a complete them.
