Couple of quick thoughts on CSS WebFont segment

Guil, as usual, is doing a wonderful job - and I'm learning a lot, guys - really glad you've got this school. So thanks.

Now for the suggestion... normally this isn't an issue, but as Guil started to select fonts off the web and download / implement them into the CSS - I'm trying to follow along (I faithfully download the project files each video segment), but Guil is copy/pasting huge chunks of pre-made code without showing how he did it or where he got it from. It would have been nice to have a way for me to also either copy/paste it in place, or whatever so that I could more easily practice... what I'm going to do is skip to the finished version of the stylesheet in the project files, copy paste out of there, back into my own work.

Anyways - a very small point - the more important point is "thank you" for all your work and great educational resources.

For the first 1/3 of the CSS deep dive I typed along with Guil, but now i'm focusing more on what he's doing in the videos and applying the work to HTML Boilerplate to see how it works. As far as the web fonts section went, that was a bit of monster, and seemed to me to be far more about concepts than actual typing. When using a webfont there should be a fair amount of documentation when you go to grab it. I seem to remember that the Google fonts tend to have fairly deep instructions with them. I'm also super thankful for these classes. I've tried at least 1/2 dozen online coding courses and this is the first that has really grabbed me.
