CSS Basics

Topic 1 - CSS is creating the style.

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets, and they tell the HTML elements how to look, such as color, font-weight, alignment, and more. This makes designing your website fast and easy once you set up some rules.

Topic 2 - When creating a CSS rule, there is a certain procedure.

To make a rule, you first need to identify the HTML element you want to create a rule for. Once you do that, choose what you want to modify about it, such as the color, padding, alignment, etc. After deciding that, you can make your modification. An example of a modification is shown below:

p {
color: red;
text-align: center;
}

Topic 3 - There are different CSS selectors for different tasks.

A "." before an HTML descriptor will create a rule for anything with that attribute. However, if you put the "." between two descriptors, it will modify anything that has both attributes. You can also create the same rules for multiple different HTML descriptors by adding a comma between them.
