Week 5

This is my 5th blog post, and it will be about my 4th IS lesson. In this lesson, I learned about CSS. CSS stands for "cascading style sheets". CSS is basically the layout of your website. The layout includes everything - the text, the background, the paragraphing and hyperlinks - basically everything's appearance can be changed by the CSS programming, all except you webpage title. When you do your CSS programming, you can either use that CSS format for your whole website or you could just use it for one part of it. If you want to use it for the whole website, you can use it as an external CSS.

An external CSS file, when you edit it, if it was already linked to your webpage file, will edit the webpage according to what you have specified in the CSS file. So, it is easy to edit your webpage background and text using the external CSS file. However, an external CSS file will be used throughout the entire webpage.

If you do not want that, then you will have to do an internal CSS file. The internal CSS file will be more troublesome to edit though, as you will have to scroll through your entire HTML coding to edit it. However, you can have more designs your webpage using the internal CSS.
Combining HTML with CSS, your webpage will look much better, compared to if you only use HTML to do up your whole website.
