I am a new student on Code Academy. I have completed all the Code Academy courses on HTML and CSS. According to my beginning research on the subject of getting my first entry level web developer position in a company, I need to have a portfolio. I started work on my resume on this website here. Follow this hyperlink. This is my first time creating a topic on the Corner Bar. I am open to all constructive criticism.
Currently, I am saving the code that shows what the resume looked like when I started. Now I am going to start over from scratch but look at the code as it develops and that will show me where and how the resume went wrong so I can understand the fix needed. If you all want to see the code for the old resume or the new resume. I now know a new and more efficient way to share code for formating thanks to Code Academy Moderator Stetim94.
This is what I have today. I also have this file saved in 2 other formats: png and tif. I would like someones free voluntary constructive criticism as to why my education section be overlapped with my Technical Skills section. I would prefer the Education section to be on top of my Technical Skills section.
I learned something new about the class in the body. I thought I could float with class. I will make that change later to a id. Reviewing my notes I see that is what I wanted to use in the first place. So in my css selector it willl look like #education{…} I chose to add so many classes to each section so when I am styling it is easier for me to see where my styling and formatting starts and stops.
The code in the pictures I loaded earlier are not what I am currently working on. Currently I am working from the ground up to get back to the pictures of my code in April 21st. Working from the ground up will show where and how to fix my code so I understand how to build a resume using HTML and CSS much more clearly.

I have done that time and time again for you now, time you learn it yourself. You can of course edit earlier posts of yourself to see how i did the markup
apostrophes (') which you use, are very different from backticks:
“Markup refers to the sequence of characters or other symbols that you insert at certain places in a text or word processing file to indicate how the file should look when it is printed or displayed or to describe the document’s logical structure.” I found this markup definition on TechTarget Search SOA. Wikipedia really cleared up what markup means in their article titled Markup Language.
I found out where my backtick symbols are on my US QUERTY keyboard. I can not explain what I want my resume to look like eventually because I have lost my motivation to work on this project. I am going back to my free courses. I’m going to learn stuff and take notes. Eventually I will pay for pro on Code Academy and then I will come back to this and other projects.
Too bad you have lost motivation, but maybe it is good to learn more first. You can always make the 4 divs you use in build a resume, a header, left, right and footer
