Day 57: Finished the HMTL and CSS Book and Started on the Google Homepage Assignment

Started off the day on pg 682 of the HTML and CSS book, and finally finished the book.  My assignment now, following The Odin Project's coursework, is to make a copy of Google's homepage.  I'm supposed to copy it as close as I can without looking at the actual code (so, don't use the browser dev tools to cheat).

I learned that the opposite of "command z" is "command shift z."  That came in handy several times.  This is what I've got so far:


But then, I didn't like how the footer was "floating," instead of being stuck to the bottom of the page, so I looked around online and found this:

I inserted it into my code, made some modifications for the height of my footer, and then we're now at this point:



Much better!  I did notice a while back that the header and footer links that are floated right show up backwards.  And here we are now:


I've corrected the order of the nav and footer links that are floated right, and I've also added the "Sign in" <submit> element, along with some styling for it.



I added the little box image!  I made it an anchor element/link also!  It's coming along...
