I want to discuss in a little more detail what are the fundamental components of this brief style sheet are. Take a moment and look at the code of the CSS (text/css):

  • First line of code tells the computer that this is a style sheet and it is written in CSS.
  • Second line says that you are going to add some style to the body of your website.
  • Third line indicates the color of the text.
  • Fourth line indicates the background color.

And like with any HTML tag, you have an opening <style> tag and a closing </style> tag.

Hi Helen!

I am not sure how useful this tutorial will be if you already have taught yourself CSS because it is a basic beginning to what CSS is and how it works with HTML.

Will be doing this tutorial. Several years ago, I did learn css but through disuse, have no memory of it at all. I look forward to it.

My time to upgrade to Windows 10 came last night. I was so glad that you had written about how much time it took that I just went to bed and only had a short wait this morning for it to finally finish. So far (one hour) I like it. I gave Microsoft Edge a bit of a try but I then chose Google as my default browser as it seems much easier to work with because it is more intuitive.

Hi Quincy!

I agree with completely about MicroSoft Edge. I ran into some issues with it as and you can definitely use whatever browser you want. I am glad I was able to warn you ahead of time regarding the upgrade to Windows 10. When I upgrade my current computer I am using, I plan on doing the same thing - do it overnight while I am sleep. :)
