Title: Exercise 5

Hi Dave,

Unfortunately for me I got caught up in making the changes suggested for my website this weekend and forgot about exercise 5. I have completed it here and if there is any way to get some of the points for the assignment I would really appreciate it.

I know in class there was a lot of feedback on how the other students didn't understand or like the game but I found it to be very helpful once I understood how it worked. I was able to understand quite a few of the selectors in a short period of time. I think the other students may have been overwhelmed and not understood, like I didn't at first that you have to type the correct html selectors with the css selectors we were trying to learn in that question. I definitely got quite a bit out of it that I plan on using for my personal site.

Like the other students in class I did run into trouble with there being so much code already that it was hard to do anything to make the site "better" (I was really just trying to be able to actually do something to the code). Also my code that I entered didn't show up often and I just gave up and left it there, I think this might be because of the cascading rules and whatnot that I am not extremely familiar with. Either way I wasn't sure what to do there. I think I could have benefited from adding some of the selectors to my personal site since the CSS code I have is very basic, I am not sure about everyone else's but mine could have benefited from this exercise.

Have a good day!
Rachel
