CSS Basics

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a language used to style and format web pages. Here are some steps to get started with CSS:

CSS Basics

1. Create an HTML file: Before you can apply CSS styles, you need to create an HTML file with the content you want to style. You can create an HTML file using a text editor like Notepad or a code editor like Visual Studio Code.


2. Link the HTML file to a CSS file: To apply styles to the HTML content, you need to link the HTML file to a CSS file. You can do this by adding a link tag in the head section of your HTML file. The link tag should include the path to your CSS file, like this:


bash Copy code;

<head>

  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">

</head>


3. Add CSS styles to your CSS file: Once your HTML file is linked to your CSS file, you can add CSS styles to the CSS file. CSS styles consist of a selector (which specifies the HTML element to style) and a set of style rules (which specify the properties and values to apply to the selected element). Here's an example:


css Copy code;

h1 {

  color: blue;

  font-size: 36px;

}


This CSS style selects all h1 elements and sets their color to blue and font size to 36 pixels.


4. Save and refresh your web page: Once you've added CSS styles to your CSS file, save the file and refresh your web page to see the changes.
