 Important CSS to Know

  • CSS code goes in style tags in head section of your webpage
  • CSS code goes between curly brackets { }, one at the beginning and one at the end
  • Every line of css code ends with a semi colon ;
  • What’s coming up: more CSS! CSS is EVERYTHING to make your webpage look good- colors, layout, even responsive design

To do while others’ receiving their grades:

 Get to know your new table partner

  • Find out 1 thing you have in common with your new table mate and then come up with a hint for it (the class is going to guess later). For example, if I was paired with another student and we have the same birth month, we might say our hint is “We’re both Virgos” and then hopefully someone in the class would figure out that the thing we have in common is we were both born in August.
