Chapter Two
Reading through chapter 2 in the book was very helpful. I learned quite a bit about CSS and what it is. I learned that CSS is composed of two elements: the selector and the declaration block. Within these setups are declarations, properties, and values. A helpful example was this:
p { color:red; font-size:1.5em; }
The second half of the chapter focused on how CSS can be incorporated into your html web page. There are two main ways to do this and that is through adding an internal style sheet or adding an external style sheet. To add an internal style sheet you simply place your CSS coding within your html between the <style> tags. You can incorporate your external style sheets using a <link> tag or CSS’s @import directive. External style sheets are typically the better choice for a website because they allow for easy editing, easy linking to each page of your website, and they have faster loading times due to Caches.
