Day 9: Header ☝️

A header usually consists of navigation that has links to different parts of the website.

The example component is visible below.

A few notes about this header component:

• CSS Variables are used for colors,
• CSS Flexbox is used for layout,
• the gap property is used to add spacing between flex items,
• text-decoration-color, text-decoration-style, and text-decoration-thickness properties are used to style the link hover state.

The code:

<header class="advent-header">
  <nav>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="/#home">🎄 🎄 🎄</a></li>
      <li><a href="/#home">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="/link-blog">Blog</a></li>
      <li><a href="/link-portfolio">Portfolio</a></li>
      <li><a href="/link-about">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="/link-contact">Contact</a></li>
      <li><a href="/link-search">Search</a></li>
    </ul>
  </nav>
</header>
