I have completed my portfolio site and am having issues sticking the footer at the bottom without whitespace beneath it. Also I am looking for feedback as to anything else I should add/do for the page. Thank you!
You’ve set your footer to position:absolute, are you currently working on it and testing? Because ripping the footer out of the document flow wouldn’t make much sense.
Anyway, the whitespace is coming from the <li> tags in the footer, you’ve given them a padding of 80px on each side.
You no need to write html boilerplate code because codepen automatically generates html boiler plate code which is not visible actually, so most of the time people get confused.
