So it's been 2 days since I posted this Rookie Mistake? and honestly, I am wondering why I didn't take this journey from the beginning when I started learning to code. So far, I have faced the "biggest challenges" in css and javascript only to find out that it wasn't that big of a challenge in the first place.
So far, I have learned about fluid typography, basically how to use clamp() in css for responsiveness, I don't fully understand it but I know how to use it (or I now know something like that exists). After trying to centre a div here and there, I no longer have to rack my head to know where to use flex.
My biggest challenge was with responsiveness. I wrote the codes on my 24" monitor and was viewing the live version on my 15" laptop, I had the thought to switch between monitors and I realised I had mobile covered, I had tablets covered and basically my laptop screen. What happens to the 24" monitors and above? at first I tried using media query to find a middle ground but when I zoom out to assume the screen of a wider display, everything got really messy really fast. As I have learned from a lot of developers around, I took a walk and decided to browse through google till I found the fluid layout and fixed layout solution. of course I went with the fixed layout. It supported what I wanted to achieve at the time and also it was easier.
Well, there you have it. The journey so far.
I need a way to connect this series of posts. Anyway, I will be sharing more on the product as I share my progress with you'll thanks for coming.
Please drop your thoughts and advice, it's not been easy. I'd really appreciate that. Thanks

Thank you very much.
I really appreciate honest responses like this.... Half the time I feel like I should know stuff and then super heros like yourself always come up to remind me that I don't have to be a "boss" at everything... thank you very much.
I haven't used media query so much since I posted this, it's been awesome.
