Unit 6 Website Development - Tutorial 2

2.1 Understand CSS selectors

Learn how CSS finds the HTML elements you want to style.

What You Are Adding

A CSS selector tells the browser which HTML element should receive a style. The selector comes before the curly braces, and the style rules go inside the braces as property and value pairs.

CSS To Add To css/style.css

Add or adapt this CSS in the stylesheet you created in Tutorial 1. Keep the HTML structure from Tutorial 1 and use CSS to improve the presentation.

h1 {
    color: #173b93;
}

p {
    font-size: 18px;
}

Expected Output
