<p id="about">My name is Lawrence Yoon and I graduated from Cal Poly Pomona with a degree in Hospitality Management and minor in Business Marketing. After working in the hospitality industry for 5+ years, I wanted to expand my knowledge by trying out different
career paths and happened to find out about computer programming. I've been self-learning for 3+ months, and hope to become a front-end web developer soon! I am proficient with HTML and CSS, and have some knowledge of JavaScript. Once I get my first
job, I hope to continue studying and eventually learn back-end. My goal is to one day become a full-stack developer!</p>
<p>So far, I have knowledge of HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript, and jQuery. I have used StackOverflow a couple times, and although I don't rely on this, it's great to ask questions and receive answers promptly from a loving community. Jon Duckett's
Introduction to HTML and CSS has been a great teacher to me thus far; although it's a bit dated, it contains detailed images and helped me greatly step foot into the world of web development. Following this book, I got his second book for JavaScript
and jQuery and have started to read through that. While I'm doing this, I'm learning from FreeCodeCamp, which immensely helped because through their projects, I'm able to make this file on Codepen, which will become my portfolio! I will definitely
try to finish all FCC challenges, and make a couple of apps to showcase my skills!</p>
<p>As of right now, I'm not looking for a job because I lack the skills necessary to get my first job in web development. In a couple of months, I hope to polish what I know so far as well as learn new skills to get my first job. In time, I will showcase
my skills by demonstrating my abilities through the makings of small apps. Thanks for reading! Please don't hesitate to reach out to me to provide tips, or if you want to talk about anything I'm all ears!</p>

Two questions:
I have my position: fixed nav-bar that is blocking my anchor tags (about, portfolio, contact), meaning when I click them, it takes me to their location but the nav-bar is blocking the start. When I click the links on the top, how can I make it so that it starts below my nav-bar?
I am using CSS li:visited {text-decoration: none;} but it changes to color purple and still have an underline. Why is that happening?
To resolve the issue with in-page anchors and a fixed header, what you need to do is to create and relatively position an anchor element above the content section.
Fiddle example: https://jsbin.com/dosalajotu/edit?html,css,output
For example, if your header was 50px tall:
header { height: 50px; }
.anchor { position: relative; top: -50px; }
<section>
<div id="about" class="anchor"></div>
</section>
With the :visited state, this would apply to a elements, not to li elements. If you update your CSS selector and also override the colour, that should resolve the issue.
li a:active, li a:visited { color: red; text-decoration: none; }

For my project, I have created a fake beachside hotel accommodation website. As of now, I feel like I have successfully completed my website in terms of it's content. However, one issue still remains within the development of this website. I have recently discovered that when I reduce the size of the google window when displaying my website will cause the content within it to not display correctly (not be responsive). This specifically affects the header and the footer This is the same deal when I tested my website on a laptop with a much smaller resolution than my computer monitor, and in order for the website to look neat was to zoom out at around 75%. I've seen tutorials on how to do it, and it's mostly to do with using this meta tag:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
I've also seen that using the min-height tag can help, but to me it doesn't work.
This is affecting mainly the header image and the footer since it has social media icons within it, along with a span tag to separate a link to a contact form. I think the issue might have to do with the placement of my code's more specifically in terms of where I have placed the div's and class's. It may also have to do with the two-column layout present within the code. I also think the solution is simple but I obviously can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated as always. Also keep in mind the code below is only for the Home Page. The styling for other pages are slightly different, but I think I might be able to figure out how to fix the other pages as well after the home page solution has been given to me. If you need screenshots of it I'll happily upload them.

<h1>Testimonials</h1>
<q>So sorry we had to go home after only one night. We will definitely stay two nights next time!</q>
<br>
<q>This apartment is close to everything. We didn't need the car as the walks were amazing"</q>
<br>
<q>Your attention to detail made our stay so relaxed and comfortable. It was such a shame we had to drive back to our little flat, which is smaller than your apartment. We want to move in!</q>
<br>
<q>Cosy and comfortable. We imagined we owned it and enjoyed being spoilt. Thank you</q>
<br>
<q>What a magical stay at such an amazing place. Completely self-contained and very private. We loved it and will return again and again.</q>
<br>
<q>Never felt so spoilt. A perfect get away and so close to everything. We had the best bath ever!</q>
<br>
<q>A few minutes’ walk from the beach, picnic basket in hand and towel over the shoulder - can't think of anything better except that wonderful breakfast. That bacon is the best in Melbourne!</q>
<br>
<q>Relaxing in that sunny garden watching our dog chasing balls. Let me stay forever!</q>

Use max-height: 100%; on your image. As you did with max-widthon your image.
I think it is a good practice to wrap your image <img> in a container <div>. You have to set the container's width and height to some values (either with flex or percent values or fixed values) and then set the image's width and height as a percent, relative to its container. You can also try and use the object-fit: contain; css property on the image. You can also consider using media queries for different screen resolutions. I found this stackoverflow QA useful in this topic.
Edit: Along with object-fit: contain; you can use max-width: 100%; and max-height: 100%; on the image.
The code is below and it won't let me scroll.

I also want to fix the transparency part so it only gets the text part-any help would be great!!
Last thing I need help in is the background image....it keeps getting repeated no matter what I try...

First, the body is having overflow: hidden. Remove that and you should be able to scroll.
Secondly, you put the background-repeat on the .main-banner, when it should be on the body where you set the background-image. Also, your background-size doesn't have a '-' in the middle.
I'm trying to make a website where the main content is on the left and miscellaneous things on the right. The two divs are wrapped inside another div that centers the page and leave some white space on both side. However the right div always go below the left one even though there's clearly still room for the the right one to fit. I know this problem is pretty common but I tried many solutions like display:inline-block, and it doesn't work at all. Here's what my page looks like right now: https://hongweichen0.github.io/

My name is Hong Wei Chen. I'm currently enrolled in Midwood High School as a Junior. I created this personal website for fun just to show off what I learned about HTML/CSS from KhanAcademy. Still pretty new to web design and I plan to learn more about
how to implement Javascript into websites. There's still a lot for me to learn but I plan to keep on going and become a badass programmer. My ultimate goal is to become expert in both front-end and back-end development. Now, let me show off as
much as I can. No one will visit this site anyway.

<p>This is an intro to Javascript project I made on Khan Academy during my early stages of learning. The idea is that when the user clicks on the canvas, a fish with random size and color will be drawn on the position of the cursor. This lesson is
about functions and how to call them with parameters. In this case, the parameter is the x and y position, which is provided by the user's mouse click. This worked out pretty well and I even took a screen shot of it and used it as my avatar for
many websites. It's a piece of art made with Processing JS.</p>

<p>This one is also from the Intro to Javascript course on Khan Academy. I love their free courses, probably the best ones out there. Anyway, this is actually an animation using the draw function. I did this on the second day I started this course
and it took me a solid 2 hours to finish. I went way pass the expectation and added a bunch of stuffs. At the end I was saying to myself, "hey, this is fun". I finally realized how amazing and fun programming can be.</p>

<p>This is an intro to Javascript project I made on Khan Academy during my early stages of learning. The idea is that when the user clicks on the canvas, a fish with random size and color will be drawn on the position of the cursor. This lesson is
about functions and how to call them with parameters. In this case, the parameter is the x and y position, which is provided by the user's mouse click. This worked out pretty well and I even took a screen shot of it and used it as my avatar for
many websites. It's a piece of art made with Processing JS.</p>
<img src="Shooting%20Star.PNG" alt="Shooting Star. A shooting star and explosion animation" width="200">
<p>This one is also from the Intro to Javascript course on Khan Academy. I love their free courses, probably the best ones out there. Anyway, this is actually an animation using the draw function. I did this on the second day I started this course
and it took me a solid 2 hours to finish. I went way pass the expectation and added a bunch of stuffs. At the end I was saying to myself, "hey, this is fun". I finally realized how amazing and fun programming can be.</p>

Why do you have div.clear between them? When I removed it, it works. Clear specifies on which side are floating elements not allowed to float. Also, you can use flexbox for this.
I am completely positive that my code causes my title to be in the center of my textbox, however, it doesn't look like it is! Can someone check that my code is sound?

Why not write the <p> or <div> inside a <center> tag. It causes anything to be centered. In order to avoid further problems isolote the element to be centered from other elements.
In my current HTML project I am using a side navigation bar for website navigation. If I scroll to the right too much on the page however the side navigation bar will overlay onto the body text of the page. How to I keep the side bar from adjusting for the view-port present in the browser. Here are some screenshots and my code for the page.

<h1 class="peppy">Hello There</h1>
<p>
Thanks for taking the time to check out my site. I am an aspiring paralympic athlete with some big goals for the future. I come from a blue collar home and the world of snowboarding is a really expensive one. Check out the website, take a look at my videos, or email me, and of course be social. If you are feeling particularly awesome today, you can even donate below.

<h1 class="peppy">About Me</h1>
<p>
Hello, my name is CJ Cahala and I am hoping to accomplish a dream. It was always a thought in the back of my head of being a paralympic athlete, living life on the mountain and hopefully having some medals to show for it. I was born after several hours of fetal distress and a lack of oxygen causing permanent brain damage in the form of ataxic cerebral palsy, generalized dystonia, and cervical dystonia. To make some big words small, its hard for me to balance at times, my head shakes constantly, and my hands tremor badly enough that ever since about second grade I’ve had to use a computer to write things down and complete my school work. And then there’s the people that meet me and think I’m just a heroin junkie, but that’s another story. As I grew up I didn’t really find learning to walk with the assistance of a walker or riding a three wheeled bicycle was weird or not normal until about second grade. Due to the tremors in my hands I couldn’t write down the day’s writing assessment, and this was when I started to cry. The reason being was that I wasn’t like the other kids, but little did I know that no-one really cared about anything in elementary school except getting to recess on time and trading up your cold lunch as much as possible so that you got the best lunch at the table. As I grew older I started to realize that my disability was more of a discussion topic than a reason for people not to converse with me. By the time I outgrew my first board I found that it was time to step my game up. I got decked out with the best board I could find and soon got out to Colorado for the first time. It was when I got out to Colorado that I thought, “I could so do this for a living!”. And now, that is exactly what I want to do. My mom is a teacher’s aid at the local high school and my dad is a screen printer, and I just got a minimum wage job, which is why I need sponsorship for my travels to training camps and snowboardcross competitions. If you could find a way to get me connected with any corporate sponsors, organizations who sponsor kids like me, or individual people that you think may be interested to hear my story, my thanks will be endless. If you love powder days out on the mountain, then you must understand my yearn to be able to spend my life living my dream snowboarding.
</p>
<h4 class="peppy">Be Social</h4>
<p>
A website like mine thrives on you-the viewer- being social. As you may have seen, I threw up some socialte buttons at the top of the page. Though it may sound cheesy, sharing is caring in my world. The more people who see the site, the more energy it has behind it, and energy is what I need to keep doing what I love.

<h4 class="peppy">Updates and More</h4>

So, you see my site, but want know what I'm doing. You are supporting me, so I don't mind internet stalkers. Check out my blog here and from there, you will see links to follow me on twitter or get all caught up on my Youtube uploads (plus many other ways to network with me), all of which are awesome non-productive ways to spend time on the internet. If you want come check out my Blog
