Between Monday and today, I took a significant step forward by diving deeper into CSS, a styling language that breathe into web pages. 🌐

Started by learning the essentials—selectors, code blocks, declarations, and their values. It was exciting to see how a few lines of code could transform plain HTML into something visually appealing. In CSS, styling can be achieved in three ways: Inline styling (by adding the style attribute in the opening tag), Internal styling (by adding the style element in the head section) and lastly, external styling (by creating a .css file and linking it to the .html file). Now for best practice, we're to use external styling.🎨

By linking an external stylesheet to our HTML, we were able to apply consistent styles across multiple pages. I experimented with different colors, font types, borders, and margins,paddings and even apply colors to pseudo-class.

We also explored how to target various containers on the page using IDs and classes. By assigning IDs for unique elements and classes for groups of similar elements, I was able to style sections with precision. This method allowed me to create a clean, organized layout, with each part of the page styled exactly as I envisioned.

I’m excited to keep pushing forward, learning more, and sharing my progress with you all and becoming. My goal is to be at least 1% better everyday (small right. I know). The journey has just begun, and there’s so much more to create!
