Basics to CSS
CSS is confusing, fusturating, and at times you just want to throw your computer across the room. But, with that being said, CSS is the most fun and creative part of learning code. CSS is where you make the ideas in your head come to life on the page. CSS is where you the color, font style, background images, and other effects of your page come to life. Where as HTML is mostly content where there are sentences that you can read, CSS is the opposite. CSS is strictly code.
The Code
One of the most important aspects of CSS is that you remember the DIV id names you used in your HTML code. Each id name will have it's each individual settings in the CSS code, making each section look different if you want it to. One of the main differences between CSS and HTML is the way the physical code looks. In HTML you use "<" where in CSS you use "{" and this is one of the main differences. Secondly, in CSS your DIV id is placed outside and before the bracket, and the DIV id always starts with # followed by your id name. For example, it would look like #idname. For the most part, the characteristics of CSS, in my opinion is hard to memorize and can be super tricky if you don't have another resource to look upon. I have found it very useful to look up example CSS codes on the internet in order to get what I have in mind to look like what I want it to look like on the page. I have included some helpful links on the right hand side. My most important advice to you when writing your CSS code is to not get extremely fusturated. Sometimes, it just takes a lot of tries before you can get it right.
