 ### Sharing styles across multiple elements
 Remember: an HTML element can have zero, one, or _multiple_ classes applied to it. Class attributes can help us write cleaner and more DRY (don’t repeat yourself) CSS **because we can apply the same class to multiple elements in our HTML that share certain styles**. Then, in our CSS, we simply apply all the shared styles to that shared class. We can also apply CSS declarations to multiple elements at once by stacking the selectors. 
 
-For example:
+Open up this [CSS: Sharing Styles Across Multiple Elements Codepen](https://codepen.io/turingschool/pen/LYwbaZJ?editors=1100).  Look at the HTML and CSS closely.  Digest which styles are being applied to which elements and how.  Ignore the commented out CSS styles at the bottom of the file for now.  Together we will learn how to make this CSS more DRY.

-### What's the deal with deploying?

-Deploying your repos allows you to have a live site for your application. You'll be able to share this link with friends and family to show off what you're learning! You will also include deploy links on your resume so potential employers can see what you've built! 
-
-Deploying takes time, so it's not a good idea to use your deployed site as your point of reference while building your app. While you're coding, you'll want to run `open index.html` in your terminal to see the current local version of your app. You need to refresh the browser each time you make an update to your code. Once you've pushed up your code and merged into the main branch, the deployed site should update within an hour.

-Below are instructions for deploying to GH Pages:  
-
-    - Repo Settings » Pages » Select the main branch as your Source branch » Save. Then, wait up to an hour, hit refresh, and your deployed link should appear at the top of the screen.  
-
-    - If you don't want to wait, your GH pages URL will follow this format: "https://username.github.io/hang-in-there/". Replace "username" with the repo owner's GH username and "hang-in-there" with your repo's name (if different). The URL will not work right away - that's ok! Add it to the Project Submission form anyway.

   - Save the submitted data into the respective arrays (image URL into the images array, etc - all part of your data model) so that future random posters can use the user-created data
   - Change back to the main poster view (hiding the form view again)
