Day 8/200 (Full stack)

Today I finally got into CSS, and not gonna lie... this is where stuff starts looking actually cool. My HTML pages don’t look like plain black-and-white essays anymore 😂

👨‍🎨 What Even Is CSS?

CSS is basically how websites get their style—colors, fonts, spacing, layout—all that good stuff.

HTML builds the skeleton. CSS makes it pretty.


🎯 Stuff I Learned Today

➤ 1. How to Use CSS

There are 3 ways to add CSS:

  • Inline – Right inside the HTML tag. Kinda messy.
  • Internal – Inside a <style> tag in the HTML file.
  • External – Linking a .css file. This one’s the cleanest and what I’ll probably use most.

➤ 2. CSS Selectors

Selectors = telling CSS what to style.

Some basics I played with:

  • p → all <p> tags
  • .className → any element with that class
  • #idName → a specific element with that ID

Pretty simple to start, but I know this can get wild later on.

➤ 3. Fonts & Text Styling

Fonts change everything. I messed with:

  • font-family
  • font-size
  • font-weight
  • line-height

Just changing the font and spacing made my practice page feel way less boring.


🛠️ Mini Practice Project

I threw together a tiny HTML + CSS page just to try all this out. Nothing fancy — just some text, a heading, and styles to make it look less like a school assignment 😅


🧠 Thoughts

CSS is honestly pretty fun so far. Way more visual than HTML. I'm excited to keep going — maybe Flexbox or Grid next? Idk, we’ll see what’s up tomorrow.

If you're also learning full stack or just starting out, feel free to say hi!

“Make it work, then make it look good.” – me, after struggling with fonts for 10 minutes
