443 PointsIndentions
Is there a method when determining the level of indention used? For example, when writing CSS for body and .main-image, Treasure seems to indent each line. Once I hit enter to write on a new line, can I simply begin writing or is it best practice to always indent so many characters?

5,094 PointsIn HTML and CSS indentation is for readability. So yes you could just type away and nothing bad would happen when you use it (if the code is correct, of course). However, it might not be as easy to read after writing e.g. 50 lines of CSS.
I believe JavaScript uses the same indentation so don't worry about getting it wrong.

443 PointsAwesome, so essentially it is personal preference if I choose to indent each block once or twice with HTML or CSS. Appreciate the clarification!
