CSS Positioning Lab

Introduction

Note: This can be a pair programming activity or done independently.

One of the best ways to sharpen your CSS skills is to try to recreate an existing style and layout, so take a look at the deliverable below, work with a partner, and build your own version of Instagram.com. Don't worry if you can't get it to look exactly as you see but try your best to get as close as possible.

There's a bit of starter code, so you can jump right into it.

Exercise

Requirements

• Fork this repo
• Clone this repo into your ~/code/labs

• Use a single external CSS stylesheet to style all pages
• Use the images provided to construct the appropriate elements on the page:
