How can I shrink the ‘about’ section in the footer to about a third of the width without it affecting the nav link on the right? I added padding and it moved the nav underneath and created some whitespace. any help is greatly appreciated.
One thing that would help is using Bootstrap for your layout - it’s grid system is a little easier to grasp than dealing with float based layouts as a beginner. It also make it easier to make a responsive site.
If you’re feeling adventurous, you could work through Wes Bos’ Flexbox tutorials and really learn how to do great things with CSS layouts.
