img-path

why do we need a variable for img path....isn't it sort of more work?

if you change the location of the image and if u used that address in for example 5 places, all u need to do in order to put everything in the correct place is to just change the address in that one address variable u defined and it will work perfectly, but if u type the address u have to change/correct the address 5 times ( or more ! ).

but, tbh, i haven't seen using css variables for holding image addresses, but i did see the benefits of storing color hex codes in css variables ;)

Well, with that point of view is fair-play. I agree, its much easier with variables for color,absolutely.

thank you for your answer.
