CSS help with transitions and general cleanup

Help / Questions
#1

Hi everyone!

I feel like I’m close to finishing HTML/CSS and I just have a couple of questions.

  1. I’m not sure that I’ve completed all of this “When a person moves their pointer over a picture card, then the card gets a shadow of rgba(0, 0, 0, .3) with a 0px horizontal offset, 2px vertical offset, and a blur radius of 4px.” —I’m not sure hot to set the blur radius and I’m not postive that my horizontal and vertical offset is correct.

  2. Am I overcomplicating my CSS by adding each individual element separately? (h3, .bodytext, .secondary, etc)?

Can someone please help? I want to make sure I don’t fail it :slight_smile: Thank you in advance!

  1. There is a clue in the sentence: “…pointer over a picture card,…” meaning that the box-shadow will be set when the person hovers over the card. For more info on blur radius of box-shadows, check out https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_box-shadow.asp. When in doubt about css attributes, a quick google search will be your best friend. Also if you have the html file for this, opening it up on your browser is a great way to test your css out.

  2. You’re fine having each element separate. Elements are usually grouped when the share the same attributes to reduce redundancy. In your css above, if you know .secondary and .bodytext will have the same color and you won’t be changing it, you can combine elements and give them the attribute of color.

Hope this helps!
