Hi Pinky, this is a really cool idea!!

I do have one suggestion, especially if you plan on doing a series of posts like this, I suggest using the built in markdown for code block with three backticks. I included a screen shot for reference. This way a user can highlight and copy portions of your code examples!!

If you have any questions let me know!

In that same vein you host your code somewhere like JSFiddle then take the URL and put it in a tag like this.

{% jsfiddle lhttps://jsfiddle.net/ink2twenty/f16voc7q/ result html css %}

There's lots of tags like this you might find helpful in the Editor Guide. 😊

I was actually confused how to use build in markdown in my post as this is my very first post. Thank you! I will keep this in mind next time. 🙌
