What is CSS

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. CSS is used to style the content of a web page by adding design elements like colors, fonts, and spacing. You can use CSS to change the look and feel of any element on a web page, from the overall layout to individual HTML tags.

Getting Started

We import stylesheets in the section of our HTML.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">

Attribute	Value	Meaning
rel	stylesheet	Relationship between the linked resource and the document
href	styles.css	Hypertext reference, the path to your CSS file

CSS Syntax

A CSS rule has three parts: a selector, a property, and a value.

selector {
  property: value;
}

Part	Description
selector	Targets the HTML element to style
property	The style attribute you want to change
value	The value applied to that property

Example:

h1 {
  color: red;
  font-size: 32px;
}

This targets every <h1> element and makes the text red at 32px.
