Hello everyone!
This is my very first post in a Codecademy forum! I have found myself searching for answers on other peoples’ topics so thought it was about time to create my own.
My main issue is with the <div> tag. I have just completed the Dasmoto’s Arts and Crafts project on the Front-end developer career path. Without any external help, I was able to build a replicate of the website that I was challenged to create. I was pretty chuffed with my efforts, but when comparing my code to that of Codecademy’s, I found that they had used <div>'s and I had not.
How important are <div>'s if I was able to create an identical website without using them?
Thanks in advance for any help, and feel free to make any other comments on my code. I realise this is basic stuff, but just remember, I’m a newbie!
Here is a comparison between my code, and the Codecademy code.
My code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
