Thanks to Smashing Magazine's CSS Grid Challenge, I was finally pushed to learn grid in all it's glory and failures.

Here is my submission left on CodePen:

It feels good to finally get rolling with the new CSS Grid layout. And I am in LOVE! So much easier to arrange elements than using float hacks. The hard part was learning the new code, along with the Microsoft/IE fallbacks. But now it's hard to look back at the old ways. I'll be experimenting with this at work a lot more now, alongside "flexing" my new knowledge of Flexbox.

Thanks, Smashing Magazine! I needed that kick in the pants.
