The algorithm used by browsers to determine which styling rule to apply is called specificity.

Specificity tells the browser which rule to apply.

SEMANTIC HTML

Kabir Isyaka — Tue, 13 Aug 2024 07:48:16 +0000

Semantic HTML is the part of HTML that helps you organize your website in a maintenance and SEO friendly way. SEO stands for: Search Engine Optimization.

When you adhere to HTML semantics when building a site, that site tend to make it easy for search engines to rank it higher, and of course makes it easy for screen readers to navigate your website.

Here are some of the semantic HTML tags:

1-
The "header" tag is where the introductory content of the page, navigation links, menu and/or search bar go into. Brand logos go in there too!

2-
The "main" tag is where the main content of the page go into.

3-
The "article" tag is where independent self contained content go into. Content that makes sense on it's own. This can be a blog post.

4-
The "section" tag breaks down content into parts. It normally includes a heading. Not a "header" tag.

5-
The "aside" tag is used to add secondary or related content to a post on a page.

Note: the "section" tag can be nested in the "article" tag and the "aside" tag can be nested in either.

6-
The "footer" tag contains information about the page like; contact, links and legal information.

Thank you, and i hope this helps!

Trying to get back to coding

Kabir Isyaka — Mon, 12 Aug 2024 15:57:11 +0000

I decided to get back to coding last month because i was rusty and was beginning to forget how to write a line of code. Reason is; i took a one year break form coding and i can tell you for free that it hasn't been easy. Last year i had been learning Web Development and i was through with Functional and Object Oriented JavaScript with a few projects on ground ready to be pushed to GitHub and my next move was to start learning react.

Long story short, here i am back to the basics and i can tell you for free that it isn't easy. But i know with consistency and persistence i'll be back to my coder self.

Grind till you figure it out.
