What Is CSS?

CSS Stands for Cascade Styles Sheet. CSS is a bit harder to learn that HTML, but as you start writing it, it will get better. I had self taught myself CSS with resources I had found on the internet. With that knowledge, I can give you the insights to what I know.  What I can tell you right now is that it is well worth it to learn because both HTML and CSS work together.  Some things I have done in CSS and some things I have done with HTML.  Where one lacks, the other picks up.

Some Tips

First, I am going to give you some tips. Why? Because I think you need them. Learning either HTML or CSS, takes time and patience. If you have not read my hub on HTML, you should. Here is the Link.

Now for the tips:

  • Don't give up.  It does take time to learn.
  • Take baby steps trying to learn.
  • If you can't figure it out, contact me and I will see if I can fix your problem.  Yes I am willing to help you learn.

The Basics

I am going into the real basics here. I am not writing anything that has to do with div codes.  They are all going to have to do with p codes.  Div, I will touch later on.


Backgrounds

This is what you put on for backgrounds. Remember you change the color code for whatever color you may want.

<p style="background:#colorcode">

You do not have to write the colorcodes unless you want to. Where it says #colorcode, in its place all you have to put is red if you want a red background.

If you want an image for the background, you can do that too. you would do <p style="background-image: url(imageaddress)

The next hub will be on the text and fonts.
