Now, look only main-content. i need to make an general excerpt, how would you do it? I started with gird and then applying card which is background white, and border, how woudl you style the code frmo my previous project, to a better code with OO like im just trying to talk.

Hello Mr. Bond,

What's OO? I also don't understand your question.

Oh, i think it's actually this what im after

With the BEM (Block, Element, Modifier) methodology we're able to define a naming convention that will help make our CSS modular, portable and easier to understand by other designers and developers.
