Figuring It Out

- What excites me about coding is being able to learn something new. Not just a new skill, but a new way of thinking. The possibilities are endless, you just have to figure out how to make it come to life.
- Having doctype at the top of the file tells the browser that it is an html file.
- The css style tags correspond to the html elements. You can reference the html elements themselves if you want all of the elements to follow the same styling, or you can break them up into classes and reference the classes for css to style.
- An html tag is the command typed into the html file. The element is what the tag creates.
- The cascade cascades. The styling closest to the top applies the most broadly and gets more specific as it cascades.
- A css stylesheet can be linked in the head of the html file. This makes it easier for large groups of elements to have styling applied at once. You can also write the css into the html if you only need it for one element.
