Topic #1: The Life of HTML, CSS

Always known as CSS but more formally called “Cascading Style Sheets” is the material that gives life to a HTML. This is where color, format, and overall layout is designed by the owner of the CSS file. CSS files can also save a lot of information which can allow you to change an entire webpage’s style just from one file.

Topic #2: The Details of a Declaration

CSS files are compiled with declaration blocks that determine the different properties of the HTML page layout. Each block consists of one to multiple declarations that contain a property and a value that are separated by a colon. Each declaration needs to end with a semi colon in order to be effective in the HTML.

Topic #3: The Selector

The element selector in a CSS file correlates with the element on the HTML page. Therefore if a declaration box begins with “b” it means that all elements surrounded with <b> in the HTML will acquire any of the classifications within that declaration box. When working with HTML if you want to customize everything with the same characteristic using * in the CSS file will interlink everything with the classification.
