What I Learned:

CSS syntax and selectors
Styling text and layout basics
Class vs. ID selectors
Using the box model (padding, margin, border)
Applying colors and fonts
Accessibility considerations for styled elements
The :hover pseudo-class for interactive effects

💡 Discovering the hover effect was especially exciting!
Even though it’s a simple feature, it immediately made me feel at home in the world of UX/UI seeing elements respond to user interaction was truly satisfying.
