CSS

Introduction

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is the language used for designing web pages.

This is different from HTML- which has the function of providing content and structure to a web page. CSS focuses on adding style to that content.

How it Works

CSS applies styles using CSS selectors. These selectors indicate what parts of the HTML you want to add style to. Then using "fancy brackets" {} you put the property you want to add a rule to and the value you want to assign from it separated by a colon : and ended with a semicolon ;

You will need to attach your style sheet to your HTML pages in the < head > section!
