8,243 PointsQuestion Regarding The CSS Classes
Out of curiosity, were the CSS classes used in this course made specifically for this project? I'm asking because when we commented normalize_css and refreshed the page, with the intention of making the section look more like in the mockup, it looked just like it, and we didn't need to modify anything.
So if I'm making my own site, and I'm using normalize and foundation.css, should I modify the files or create a new css file in order to make it look the way I want it to?
