Using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
CSS Journey
This section will showcase the skills I am learning in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Working through the activities in the program, I started making some changes to the original HTML5 post. At this point, some of these changes include:
- Change in Heading Color (the title of this section was set to use a blue font).
- Use a style block and CSS classes to a different font type and size to this paragraph.
Also, I am starting to write my posts in the text editor here on WordPress. While working on this process, I found out that I cannot use CSS in the editor without an additional plugin. After a quick search, I decided to install the Simple Custom CSS. Now I need to figure out how to use it to modify individual posts vs. overriding theme default styles. In the meantime, I am practicing in CodepPen and will share images from the pen here. I like seeing how CSS allows me to add style, color, and unique features to my website.
The next set of lessons are about visual design which is an important aspect of web page development. Here I will explore tools that will help me create a better user experience.
Below is an image of my progress using CSS as described at the beginning of this post.
