-# CSS Exercises Contributing Guide
-
-Thank you for expressing interest in contributing to our CSS exercises! Please be sure to read this guide thoroughly before contributing, as it will lessen the chances of any issues arising during the process.
-
-**Please do not open a pull request (PR) with your solutions to any exercises in this repo**. Your PR will be immediately closed without being merged. The exercises are for you to do and keep on your own local machine or your personal GitHub.
-
-## How to Contribute
-
-### Being Assigned an Issue
-
-If you would like to work on an existing issue in the repo:
-
-1) Find an issue that is not currently assigned to anyone
- * A couple of good places to start are ["help wanted" issues](https://github.com/TheOdinProject/css-exercises/labels/Help%20Wanted) or ["good first issue" issues](https://github.com/TheOdinProject/css-exercises/labels/good%20first%20issue)
-
-2) Ask to be assigned the issue by a maintainer
- * **If you are not a maintainer, do not give others permission to work on an issue**
-
-3) **Wait to be assigned the issue before starting any work**
-
-4) After being assigned, address each item listed in the acceptance criteria
- * If there are no acceptance criteria stated in the issue, ask the maintainer that assigned you the issue if any exist
-
-If you would like to propose a small change (fixing a typo, updating a link, etc.) that is not part of an existing issue, you are welcome to make the change and submit a PR without an official issue.
-
-### Creating an Issue
-
-If you would like to propose a more significant change:
-
-1. Go through the open issues and make sure an issue doesn't already exist
- * If the issue already exists, but there are details you feel are missing, leave a comment on the already opened issue
-
-2. If the issue doesn't already exist, create a new one and **read the issue template in its entirety and fill out all applicable sections**
-
-### Setting Up Your Local Clone
-
-Before you begin working on anything, be sure you follow these steps in order to set up a clone on your local machine:
-
-1. Fork this repo to your own GitHub account. If you don't know how to do so, follow the GitHub documentation on how to [fork a repo](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/fork-a-repo)
-
-2. Clone this repo to your local machine with one of the following commands, replacing the `` text with your actual GitHub username:
- ```bash
- # If you have SSH set up with Git
- git clone git@github.com:/css-exercises.git
- # Otherwise for HTTPS
- git clone https://github.com//css-exercises.git
- ```
-
-3. `cd` into the directory of your local clone, then set the upstream remote so you can keep your local clone synced with TOP's original repo:
- ```bash
- # If you have SSH set up with Git
- git remote add upstream git@github.com:TheOdinProject/css-exercises.git
- # Otherwise for HTTPS
- git remote add upstream https://github.com/TheOdinProject/css-exercises.git
- ```
-
-### Working on an Issue
-
-Once you have the repo forked and cloned, and the upstream remote has been set, you can begin working on your issue:
-
-1. Create a new branch, replacing the `` with an actual branch name, e.g. "flex_exercises":
- ```bash
- git checkout -b
- ```
-
-2. Add commits as you work on your issue, replacing the `` text with your actual commit message:
- ```bash
- git commit -m ""
- ```
-
-3. Sync your work with the upstream remote every so often. Follow the [ongoing workflow](https://www.theodinproject.com/paths/full-stack-ruby-on-rails/courses/ruby-programming/lessons/using-git-in-the-real-world#ongoing-workflow) section in our Using Git in the Real World lesson.
-
-4. Push your branch to your forked repo, replacing the `` with the branch you've been working on locally:
- ```bash
- $ git push origin
- ```
-
-### Opening a Pull Request
-
-1. After pushing your changes, go to your forked repo on GitHub and click the "Compare & pull request" button
- * If you don't see this button, you can click the branch dropdown menu and then select the branch you just pushed from your local clone:
-
- 
-
- * Once you have switched to the correct branch on GitHub, click the "Contribute" dropdown and then click the "Open pull request" button
-
-2. **Read the PR template in its entirety and fill out all applicable sections** before submitting your PR
-
-3. At this point a maintainer will either leave general comments, request changes, or approve and merge your PR
- * It is important to respond to any comments or requested changes in a timely manner, otherwise your PR may be closed without being merged due to inactivity
- * After pushing any requested changes to the branch you opened the PR with, be sure to re-request a review from the maintainer that requested those changes at the top of the right sidebar:

-## How to use these exercises
+If you have a suggestion to improve an exercise, an idea for a new exercise, or notice an issue with an exercise, please feel free to open an issue after thoroughly reading our [contributing guide](https://github.com/TheOdinProject/theodinproject/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) in our main TOP repo.
-1. Fork and copy this repository. To learn how to fork a repository, see the GitHub documentation on how to [fork a repo](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/fork-a-repo). Copies of repositories on your machine are called clones. If you need help cloning to your local environment you can learn how from the GitHub documentation on [cloning a repository](https://docs.github.com/en/github/creating-cloning-and-archiving-repositories/cloning-a-repository-from-github/cloning-a-repository).
-2. Go to an exercise directory and open the HTML file in your browser. You can either open the file directly, or use something like VSCode's Live Server.
-3. For each exercise, view the README, and edit the CSS file to make the output in your browser look like the images provided.
-4. Each README has a "Self Check" list. Use this to make sure you haven't missed any important details in your implementation.
-5. Don't check the solutions until you're done!

+3. For each exercise, read the README thoroughly before starting any work.
+ * Each README has a "Self Check" list. Use this to make sure you haven't missed any important details in your implementation.
+4. Make your edits in the `index.html` and/or the `style.css` files in order to make the output in your browser look like the Desired Outcome image(s).
+ * Depending on the instructions of the exercise, you may only need to make edits in one of these files.
+5. Once you successfully finish an exercise, check TOP's solution to compare it with yours.
+ * You should not be checking the solution for an exercise until you finish it!
+ * Keep in mind that TOP's solution is not the only solution. If your solution differs wildly from TOP's solution (and still passes the self-check criteria), feel free to ask about it in the chatroom.
+6. Do not submit your solutions to this repo, as any PRs that do so will be closed without merging.
+
+## Some Hints
- The official solutions put all changes at the _end_ of the CSS file, which may duplicate some selectors (e.g. there might be a `body {}` in the given CSS, and another `body {}` in the solution). When you are working on an exercise, it is best practice to add your CSS to existing selectors instead of duplicating them at the end of the file. We're sacrificing this best practice in our official solutions to make it extra clear to you what things we changed to solve the exercise.
- Unless listed in the self-check section, do not worry about getting the exact pixel value for things like margin, padding and font-size. These exercises are intended to test your knowledge of CSS, not your ability to guess that a screenshot is using `font: sans-serif bold 16px`, or that the margin is _exactly_ `42px`.
- You may need to add some elements to your HTML to get things into the right spot. (For the first few exercises we make it explicit when this needs to happen.)
- You may need to add more selectors to your CSS file. The first few exercises have almost everything already done for you, but as you progress you'll find that you need to add more and more to get the correct result.
-- In many cases, there will be multiple correct ways to solve these problems. The official solution isn't necessarily the _only right way_, but it is possible to do things in ways that are overall unhelpful. If your solution differs wildly from the official solution (and still passes the self-check criteria), feel free to ask about it in the chatroom.

# CSS Methods
This final exercise for CSS Foundations is going to give you a closer look at the cascade, in particular specificity and rule order. Both the HTML and CSS files are filled out for you, so instead of adding rules yourself, you will simply be editing what is provided.
-There are a few elements that have some sort of specificity or rule order issue in the provided CSS file. It's up to you to figure out what issue is affecting an element, and how to fix it. You can edit the CSS file by adding or removing selectors or moving stuff around, but you should not edit the HTML file or any of the actual style declarations in the CSS.
+There are a few elements that have some sort of specificity or rule order issue in the provided CSS file. It's up to you to figure out what issue is affecting an element, and how to fix it. You can edit the CSS file by adding, removing, or editing selectors for a declaration block, or by moving declaration blocks around. **You should not edit the HTML file or any of the actual styles in the CSS**.
There are multiple ways to solve this exercise, and we did our best to include all of the possible solutions for each element.
