 CSS Review

What you’re responsible for: reading the directions, paying attention, following along with me, and asking questions

Ask your CSS questions now! See me before, during, or after school if necessary.

  1. Use this page as a reference
  2. Where does CSS code go on your webpage? Head or body section?
  3. Find and define selectors, properties, and values. See https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_syntax.asp.
  4. Should CSS ever go in your body section?
  5. We use pointy brackets < > with HTML. We use curly brackets { }, colons : and semi-colons ; with CSS. Find those now on your keyboard.
  6. We’re currently doing EASY CSS! We have to build on this basic foundation (where to put CSS, how to write it) before moving onto more complicated stuff.
