CSS Style
I'm not going to tell you a lot about CSS files, not yet. I'm going to be creating a tutorial on the subject. Today, I'm just going to inform you that a CSS style will allow you to make every page look the same on your web site by changing one file..
There are three way to employ CSS styles. Try not to use the inline styles; Unless you have no other options. See the examples below.
CSS Style Type
- External CSS - (Tutorial External CSS Link Will Go Here)
- Internal CSS - (Tutorial Internal CSS Link Will Go Here)
- Inline CSS - (Tutorial Inline CSS Link Will Go Here)
- Inline Option Example Try not to use this option
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Examples</title>
</head>
<body>
<p style="color:green;" rel="color:green;" rel="color:green;" rel="color:green;" rel="color:green;">The text will be green.</p>
