I am new to the world of coding as well as CSS. This is my first attempt to put together a page that required a negative value. I am aware that it is recommended that paddings do not use negative values and it is acceptable for margins to use negative values however am unsure if my use of negative values is acceptable.
Notes
- I am using an internal stylesheet so that I can easily and quickly change values rather than switching between files.
- This is the first time I used a reset stylesheet by using import
I appreciate any constructive criticisms as well as what I can do better with my coding.
