Experiments in digital creation.

With the introduction of HTML, it is inevitable to talk about CSS- Cascading Style Sheets. Through Carrie Dils’s “Introduction to CSS” LinkedIn Learning course, I’ve learned a lot more about the nature of CSS and even gained some tips to keep in mind when I make a CSS file. What’s CSS for? So you’ve made…

This week we worked with Carrie Dils to learn how CSS is written and how it interacts with HTML to create the visual effects on a site. My first impression of CSS is that it seems a little more complicated than HTML just because of the fact that you have to think about parents and…

Does this make me bilingual? I would say sadly not, but then again I feel like I could argue against that. Anyways, that isn’t the reason I brought up this “beautiful” language that could possibly propose the idea that I am indeed bilingual, but rather that the world of writing has become yet again even…

It’s what transforms that bare-bones structure into something visually appealing, personalized, and unique. Without CSS, a webpage would be pretty dull…

Chitchat and Small Rant Soooo I hope everyone had a restful fall break! We are back in business this week but guess what we only had half a week! This was nice for me, but also slightly more stressful, because less school days means homework but compressed into one day. Anyways, enough chitchat, let’s talk…

Anyone else come back from fall break, look at the CSS how-to linked in videos and go ‘oh boy.’ I hope I’m not the only one. It was a lot, but overall very informative. I’ll go over some of what all I was able to take away from it. CSS: The Magic Behind Web Design…
