+ - Rebuild CSS: `npm run build`
+
+### 4. Commit regularly during Week 3
+ - Commit after each component is complete
+ - Use clear commit messages (e.g., "feat: add card component" or "feat: add hamburger menu")
+ - Example: `git commit -m "feat: add article card with hover effects"`
+
+### 5. At end of Week 3
+ - Review all changes: `git diff master..week-3-cards-nav`
+ - Test thoroughly in browser
+ - Update memory with `week3_complete.md`
+ - Merge branch: `git checkout master && git merge week-3-cards-nav`
