Hey Joseph!

Comments are really to help you organize code for yourself, and to help others read your code in the future. Some good examples are using them when you have something that you want to remember about your code, or just to keep it organized! I use comments in my code so that developers in the future can read the comments, and see what is going on in the website. If you want some examples of how to use them, you use them like this:

<!-- Here is my navigation bar! --> <nav> ... </nav>

or

<!-- This is where my images for the portfolio are going to go --> <img>

These can also be used as multi line comments:

<!-- This Is A Multi Line Comment -->

I know this is a bit long, but I hope it helped!

Happy coding!
