This card demonstrates how the CSS box model uses padding, borders, and margins to control spacing and layout.
This card demonstrates how the CSS box model defines space around elements. The flexbox is styled by refernceing style.css in my assets/css folder.
I am using a <DIV> as a last resort protocol. Meaning I am seeking to use descriptive semantic tags such as <article>, <section>, and <header> to provide clear structure and act as a visual and cognitive signifiers for both developers and users. Threrefore, the <div> tag is reserved for situations with no semantic alternative.
I also use long format Paragraph-style comments throughout this file explain intent rather than isolated commands. This documentation supports long-term maintainability, instructional clarity, and portfolio review. I use it to help me remember what I did and why the next time I look back at this file.
