Beginning CSS

So in class this week we learnt about how CSS styles work, and were given the chance to play around with various webpages, as well as a challenge exercise in which we were given a picture of a page and asked to re-create it with CSS. Having previously used tables for everything in styling my webpages, I can definitely see how CSS makes the content and style much simpler to decipher and change if updates are needed. The coding overall also looks much neater than the complex html used to generate tables (and tables nesting into other tables...O_O), and it is much easier to fix and change the style of a page with CSS.

I had some trouble with the challenge of re-creating the style with my own CSS coding, but in the end was happy to have been able to accomplish it (although I used much more CSS code than was required in the solution that was shown). Now having the basic concept of how CSS works, and how it styles webpages, I'm rather excited to practice using it and test out all the funky things it can do even without javascript or any programming!
