My second day writing code

I made a start on my CSS courses on freecodecamp. I am about 80% through!

Today I focused on learning CSS. CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets and is used to style an HTML document. I learnt how to style different elements by adding different properties such as :

  • background colours, using the background property
  • align text, using the text-align property, for example
  • select different widths on the page by using the width property and selecting the respective number, for example, max-width: 300px if you want the max width to be 300 pixels.
  • border colour by using the border-colour property

CSS is so much more creative, it allowed me to see the different tweaks on the website to come to life!

After that, I explored different class selectors in order to change fonts, font styles and played around with the hover selector on links!
