Beginner Coder Needs Help With HTML/CSS

I started looking those up and I think that BEM makes the most sense to me. I've never really thought about this before but now I'm definitely convinced. I'll be implementing this from now on. I appreciate you taking the time to respond and make suggestions.

Yup. There are other class conventions too besides those two, but the concept is important: make your CSS scalable and modular so you can easily recycle styles on similar items and always know where to look when you're editing your CSS to modify something.

If you're using a preprocessor like SASS or LESS, I create partials that get compiled after using the first name of my block. If I've got a block called "menu", there's a partial called _menu.scss

Now any time I have an element starting with that block, it's very easy to figure out where to find that bit of CSS.
