-    [x] Note: at this point, you should notice that the form is submitting properly but the form fields are not reset after submit
-    [x] Inside the callback function, on the very last line, add a new line of code to clear the form hint: reset method
-    [x] Save and refresh your browser (or just check your browser for changes if using live extension)
-    [x] Create a variable named messageSection and use "DOM Selection" to select the #messages section by id
-    [x] Create a variable named messageList and use "DOM Selection" to query the messageSection (instead of the entire document) to find the <ul> element
-    [x] Create a variable named newMessage that makes a new list item (li) element
-
-    [x] <a> element that displays the "usersName" and is a clickable link to the "usersEmail" (hint: use the mailto: prefix)

-    [x] Create a variable named removeButton that makes a new <button> element
-        [x] Set the inner text to "remove"
-        [x] Set the type attribute to "button"
-        [x] Add an event listener to the removeButton element that handles the "click" event
-    [x] Inside the callback function, create a variable named entry that finds the button's parent element using DOM Traversal (hint: parentNode property)
-    [x] Remove the entry element from the DOM (hint: remove method)
-    [x] Append the removeButton to the newMessage element
-    [x] hint: appendChild method
-    [x] Append the newMessage to the messageList element
-    [x] Save and refresh your browser (or just check your browser for changes if using live extension)
-    [x] Style your Message Form
-    [x] Open your index.css file
-    [x] Style your message form fields and buttons keeping in mind:
-    [x] adequate spacing so form fields aren't crowded
-    [x] appropriate sizing in media queries so a user on a mobile device can easily touch/tap into the fields to type
-    [x] button sizing to accommodate click and touch/tap interactions
-
-    [x] (Optional) Hide the #messages section, including the Messages header, when the list is empty
-    [] (Optional) Create an "edit" button for each message entry that allows the user to input a new/modified message
-
-    [x] spacing on experience page for cards looks a little off, set media query 
-    [x] footer js above things in the html in the inspect is driving me nut, locate and fix!

-        [] messages stay one line and have "..." for trail off on long messages.
-        [] create button that pulls up full message in a modal to read
