✏️ 1.1.3.6 Practice: Using Floats

Goal: In the Laying out with floats lesson, we learned how to use floats to:

  • Wrap text around an image
  • Create sidebars
  • Create pages with multiple columns

In this exercise we'll practice these concepts by creating new webpages, and utilizing floats to organize their layouts.

Warm Up

  • What can be accomplished with floats?

Code


Meet the goal by completing one of these projects. Make sure to make commits regularly and push to the project's remote repository on GitHub.
