#My Day 2 of Web Development: Learning CSS and Styling HTML

Harish Karunanithi — Tue, 03 Nov 2026 18:15:43 +0000

Today, I explored CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and learned how it helps transform a simple HTML webpage into an attractive and well-structured website.

HTML provides the structure of a webpage, while CSS controls its appearance, including colours, fonts, spacing, layouts and more.

What I learned today
I explored the three different ways of implementing CSS in HTML:

Inline CSS
Inline CSS is written directly inside an HTML element using the style, attribute.It is useful for applying styles to individual elements.
Internal CSS
Internal CSS is written inside the tag within the HTML document's <head>section.It is useful when styling a single HTML page.</li> <li>External CSS External CSS is written in a separate .css file and connected to the HTML document using the <code><link></code> tag. This approach is commonly preferred for larger projects because it keeps HTML and CSS separate and makes code easier to maintain.</li> </ol> My Takeaway Today, I understood that HTML builds the foundation of a webpage, whereas CSS brings it to life through styling. I'm looking forward to learning more about CSS properties, selectors, layouts and responsive web design. Let's Goo! 🚀
