The major things that consumed my time included wrapping my head around how to use webpack , remembering how to set up CSS for successful styling, and trying to isolate the different pages and elements. I enjoyed putting this project together, but I was a little discouraged by how long it took to complete the project. I worked on this project from the 15th to the 22nd of this month.

I've been able to cover more ground, but I'm also recognizing that spending time on the various projects can take up a week or so of my time. I'm considering dividing my time between projects and working through the articles...
