Why doesnt my custom font load even though works in local? - html

Im trying to use a Raleway font family for my heading in my website. In local testing it works fine but when pushed to git and run on git pages it doesnt work. I have even specified the text font TTF file in directory but still doesnt work. What am I doing wrong?

How to create a CSS border for this CV?

I created a cv using HTML and CSS. But I tried to apply a CSS border around it but it didn't work.
The cv here is displayed in the center of the web page.
The HTML and CSS codes of the CV are shown below.
When adding the Border, if you want, change the HTML and CSS codes that I have already coded.

You can add it to the body, just make sure you set the width and height values (I just used fit-content). You can then adjust your spacing on your left column so it's not touching the border.
Also, IDs should be unique, so I change those to classes.
I'd also recommend looking into flexboxes instead of using floats for your columns. https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/

I created another div called allcv that cluster every other div (except header) and center in the middle of page. If you want, you can put the header inside that div to.
Hope I helped.

Cursor turning into the pointer (hand) before visually reaching the icon

I've already checked the code on DevTools and it shows the problem:
The icon is actually wider than I would like. I've already tried changing its size, padding, margin, etc, but with no good results. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Code can be found here
<a href="#about">
<i class="fa fa-angle-double-down fa-stack-1x" style="color: black";></i>
</a>
element.style {
color: black;
}
.fa, .fas {
font-weight: 900;
font-size: 35px;
}

Remove the .fa-stack-1x class on your icon. That will fix it. That class specifically is setting the width to be 100%. I removed it on my browser and it works fine with out it.

You need to add this css code, this prevent icon to be larger (width) and to be centered (left):
.fa-stack-1x, .fa-stack-2x {
left: inherit !important;
width: auto !important;
}
const projectName = 'tribute-page';

"When imagined by American critics, the most frequent cliché used about the legendary singer Caetano Veloso is that he is the Bob Dylan of Brazil. In that case, the best Dylan song to associate with Veloso would be "Forever Young," because Veloso is one of the most restlessly creative, forward-looking musicians of our time."

I'm trying to put my two lists beside the image that is centered in the middle one on each side but the two lists have to be centered and not all the way right or left.
Thanks in advance.

Does that work for ya?
If not I am here to help :)
What I changed:
I simply created a div container to contain the image and the two unordered list.
I then created a div for each of the unordered list and floated them to the right/left. For the center image I positioned it in the center.

First of all, you have to put all DIV tags inside BODY. Then you have to clean up a little your DIVs. In order not to rewrite the whole HTML code, I would suggest you to use a table for the lists:

How to blur a banner photo in CSS Style?

So my banner is in a .wrapper.style1 and I've used a webkit-filter to blur the photo but everything gets blurred the Nav Bar and the information inside the Banner. How could I fix this so only the image is being blurred?
Here is the section of my CSS:
.wrapper {
padding: 6em 0em 4em 0em;
}
.wrapper.style1 {
padding: 0em;
background: url(../images/mlg.jpg); #222222 no-repeat;
-webkit-filter: blur(10px);
background-size: cover;
}
.wrapper.style2 {
background: #f2f2f2;
}
.wrapper.style2 .major {
text-align: left !important;
}
.wrapper.style2 .major h2 {
display: block;
margin-bottom: 0.70em;
letter-spacing: 1px;
line-height: 1.4em;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 1.8em;
font-weight: 400;
}
.wrapper.style2 .major .byline {
letter-spacing: normal;
line-height: 1.6em;
text-transform: capitalize;
font-size: 1.4em;
}
.wrapper.style2 h3 {
display: block;
margin-bottom: 1em;

I've done this a few times before with several different solutions. What I found the most useful is using the ::before selector. You inherit every background-property you specified and apply the filter.
.wrapper.style1 {
padding: 0em;
background: url(../images/mlg.jpg); #222222 no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}
.wrapper.style1::before {
content = "";
background: inherit;
background-size: inherit;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
-webkit-filter: blur(10px);
}
Sadly, blur doesn't leave sharp edges, so you probably have to zoom in a bit to cover that up.

You can not apply filter to the container div. For that you either call the image using tag or use different container div for image.

How to place a text next to an image?

I'm trying to place the text that's currently below the picture next to the image but I can't seem to figure it out. I tried a bunch of things but it screwed it up. I'm pretty sure this is an easy fix but I'm a noob. :D

Use style="float:left;" on your image, not on your text.
Also, remove the stray semicolon in your img tag.
As shown here:

I think you need something like this:
<ul style="list-style:none; width:700px">
<li style="float:left; margin:5px;width:310px;">
<ul style="list-style:none">
<li>
<span style="font-size:20px; padding-bottom:10px;">Grumpy Cat</span>
