Activity 202: Using CSS to style a web page
Author: Daniel10 Feb 2009
Linked in this post is a very quick and simple My First CSS Page site that I created for this, the second activity of the day.
I decided to use an external CSS file for this example as it will allow me to add additional pages to the site, each of which can use the same external CSS style information – although as this is just a single page used to demonstrate CSS knowledge, I could have got away with including the style information within the <head> tags of the site.
What I specifically decided not to do was to use inline styles as – although they do provide the fill power of CSS styling – they’re no better than the old-style <font> tags when it comes to using their power.
Just for experience sake, after my initial draft, I included the Eric Meyer’s Reset CSS to see how it would affect my initial design. I found that, in addition to ‘resetting’ some of the font sizes, it also removed a lot of padding and borders from some of the block elements, such as the <h1> tag. Based on this, I now know that if I’m to use the Reset CSS file again, I need to take things like this into account.
