Working with foundation css for the first time

I am new to foundation css, basically I am trying to develop wordpress theme afterwards, so here is what I have so far. My goal is to work fast and get a theme done. I was wondering what people think of what I have so far.

It looks like inline-flex on ul.no-bullet is causing the nav not to be responsive.

Yeah, sorry on some of the outdated stuff. Some internal stuff here was slowing down my course production to replace outdated content, but hopefully that will be resolved soon :)

Thanks, looking forward to the new course material, I am excited still to be on the wordpress development course, since I have worked for the past 3 years at my job with wordpress but never fully understood what it was doing, I modified some files here and there in the past add more rows for posts for woocommerce sku numbers if client needed something custom, but its day and night really being able to understand this stuff is awesome, excited to combine my knowledge and make some awesome themes now, I have dealt with genesis framework as well, for me personally was mostly avada and sometimes enfold theme that I made majority of client websites.

Thanks for looking at the blog I will take a look at that. When I take off the inline-flex it causes other issues haha but I will figure it out.

Haha, okay, hope you can figure it out :) Let us know!

Yeah, it's nice to get a thorough big picture understanding of how everything works. Most people learn by hacking away like you have ;)

Got everything working properly on that thanks, going to make different home page templates, finishing up a resume page, and need to do portfolio, contact us page, I took good notes so we will see how good they hold up when I get to the theme part haha.

Nice Gary!!! Congrats on getting up an running building a project with Foundation :)

Only thing I would suggest is maybe a bit more of a built out footer. Really good job though!!!

Thanks Zac, I wasn't sure what to do for a footer yet so I figure I would save that part for last. My aim was an artists portfolio theme. I was also wondering if you could help me with the blog part, I am having issues getting the blog categories to be responsive. It is breaking out of the column, spent the whole night trying to figure it out. Thanks again really enjoying the wordpress development track, some of the information is outdated but I look at that as a positive way to troubleshoot and figure it out because issues always arise.

Thanks one last thing, do you personally use any plugins or scripts to keep plugins up to date automatically so you don't have to manually login and do it? I host several clients and have to constantly update everything manually to avoid hacks. I have however become pretty savy at the wordpress white screen of death, and getting the site repaired and cleaned. I use wordfence for security limit login attempts, google nocaptcha recaptch on wp-admin, wp rename for renaming url for admin, nospam plugin for comments, hackers are very persistent though.
