You may find it easier if you try to imagine that a style sheet creates and
defines a series of rectangles on the screen.
Your sidebar is a rectangle, as is the main body of the page. You may have a
fixed heading as another rectangle. Once I’d figured that out, things became a
lot easier,

Hi. Yes, I've been through that part. It all seems so visual that I'm having a
really hard time figuring out how to work with it.

Hi Lanie,
If you have gone from the beginning to the end, there is some content about CSS
and FlexBox. Did you go through that? I am not quite to where you are now, but
I looked ahead a bit.
Thanks.
Jim

Subject: [program-l] Using CSS Without Sight
Hi, everyone. I'm sending this to several lists and hoping someone might be
able to help me. I'm learning HTML and CSS through FreeCodeCamp
<https://www.freecodecamp.org> , and I'm doing great with the HTML part, but I
only got through the parts teaching basic CSS and applied visual design because
the exercises told me exactly what to do. Now, I'm working on the projects at
the end of the HTML and CSS sections for practice, and each one has user
stories, certain tests you have to complete to pass the project. I got through
the first two with no CSS, but the one I'm working on now, located here
<https://learn.freecodecamp.org/responsive-web-design/responsive-web-design-projects/build-a-product-landing-page/>
, requires CSS to pass. I could probably write up some CSS, but once I get
there, I have no idea where in my project to put it or what properties to use.
Specifically, this project requires CSS flexbox. From what I can tell, there's
no way to pass this project without using CSS since it won't pass all the
automated tests. Has anyone been able to learn and use CSS without sight, and
if so, do you have any tips or suggestions that might help me? Thanks.
