Hey there, fellow learners! Today, I'm diving into the world of Cascading Style Sheets, or as it's more commonly known, CSS. If you're like me, someone who's always been intrigued by web design but felt intimidated by the complexity of coding, join me on this journey as we demystify CSS together.
Chapter 1: Getting Started
First things first, I had to acquaint myself with the basics. CSS is essentially a language used for styling web pages, controlling everything from layout to colors and fonts. It works hand-in-hand with HTML, the skeleton of a webpage.
After a quick Google search, I stumbled upon a plethora of resources-tutorials, articles, and videos galore. I opted for a beginner-friendly tutorial series on YouTube and bookmarked a few cheat sheets for reference.
Chapter 2: Understanding the Syntax
CSS seemed to have its own language, with curly braces, selectors, properties, and values. At first glance, it felt a bit overwhelming, but as I delved deeper, it started to make sense.
Selectors, I learned, are like targets-they pinpoint which HTML elements you want to style. Properties dictate what aspects of those elements you want to change, like color or size, while values specify how you want to change them.
Chapter 3: Experimenting
Armed with newfound knowledge, I decided to roll up my sleeves and get my hands dirty. I opened up a text editor and created a simple HTML file. Then, I added a CSS file and linked it to my HTML document.
I started small, changing the background color of a paragraph or adjusting the font size of a heading. With each tweak, I refreshed my browser and watched as my webpage transformed before my eyes. It was like painting on a digital canvas!
My life began in simplicity. I yearned for what any average girl would dream to become, in a world where expectations flourish, yet still being gullible to realise.
Like a princess, or even possibly a narcissistic little girl who wants everything to herself, I disregarded the stories told to me during my bedtimes. That 'Beauty and the Beast' was only a figment of one's imagination. That a palace was even a torture ground to those who have absolute control over it, all its inhabitants, and all that are affected by it.
The potential bestowed future had been ruined by innocent decisions of my heart, unknown to the tragedy it would inevitably render. In the end, it was my husband, whose gaze I interpreted as one of affection, who was my one and only betrayer.
