Skeleton wrap-up
- Answer code (with extra credit)
- Questions: What is an rem and why did we use it? Why did I add some margins to some rows and columns?
- You can quickly add Skeleton CSS to your project by using a CDN (content delivery network, or basically a publicly hosted set of files you can use in your projects without having to download and host the files yourself). Let’s give it a try by adding link rel=”stylesheet” href=”????” inside pointy brackets to a new webpage we will quickly set up. What does this code do? What should go after href? Why? How can we test this to see if the Skeleton CSS is working? What HTML code should we write?
