What is CSS?

  • CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets

  • CSS describes how HTML elements are to be displayed on screen, paper, or in other media

  • CSS saves a lot of work. It can control the layout of multiple web pages all at once

  • External stylesheets are stored in CSS files

I used external CSS in this activity, this is the example of external CSS:

EXAMPLE only: style.css

body {
  background-color: lightblue;
}

h1 {
  color: navy;
  margin-left: 20px;
}

EXAMPLE only: index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css">
</head>
<body>

<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>

</body>
</html>

This activity comes from the semantic HTML that I made last time, if you want to see that activity you can visit here, now I will design it using CSS to show the following:

  • Text Styling: Learn how to change text color, font size, and font style.

  • Box Model: Understand how to use margins, padding, borders, and content.

  • Backgrounds: Apply background colors or images to elements.

  • Layouts: Use display, position, and flexbox to create layouts.

  • etc.

This CSS and HTML is one of the first projects I did when I was practicing to build a portfolio.

CSS:

@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Times+New+Roman&display=swap");
