I have been working through a YouTube video tutorial to learn HTML and CSS.
Having finished the HTML and CSS training, which was of a duration of three hours of a seven and a half hour video, I thought it would be a good idea to put some of what I have learned to the test. I therefore decided to make my own “Hello world!” webpage. This webpage is composed of both a HTML file and a CSS file.
HTML is an acronym for Hypertext Markup Language and is a standardised system for tagging text files to achieve font, colour, graphic, and hyperlink effects on World Wide Web pages.
CSS is an acronym for Cascading Style Sheets is used to define styles for web pages, including the design, layout and variations in display for different devices and screen sizes.
I have written both the HTML and CSS code using Visual Studio Code, which is a free application that can be found in Microsoft store. I had to create one file for the HTML code and a separate file for the CSS code.
The HTML code, which is on the first tab of Visual Studio Code, is explained below:-
Line 1 tags the file as being HTML and line 15 ends the tag.
Line 2 is the head tag, which is a container for the following elements: <title>, <style>,<meta>, <link>…
