Adjusting the CSS took me forever, especially since I hadn&#8217;t been taught any other way to control positioning. The project was an About Me page, and working on it felt like walking into a maze. None of my CSS was easy to read or fix, and it left me really frustrated. I&#8217;ve since gotten a lot better at organization, but after a while of editing, my CSS would still get messy as I kept redoing sections. Now that we&#8217;ve started working with flexbox and positioning more, changes are much simpler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though I&#8217;m still not the best with flexbox, it has simplified what once felt like a mess of CSS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before flexbox, adjusting every little part of the layout took forever.
