We are going to learn how to use a CSS (Cascade Style Sheet) file to apply formatting to our websites.
Start by copying your images.html file, and the asteroid image file into a new folder called "CSS Intro".
If you don't have it done, you can download mine.
Follow along in class, or use the document below to add style to your html file.
You may view my solution file if you are having trouble.
See if you can remove all formatting from the images.html, and put it in the CSS file.
W3 Schools CSS section has a ton of things you can add to your CSS file:
Copy your favourite food website into its own folder, and create a CSS file for it. Try to remove color and formatting from the HTML file and put it in a CSS file instead. Use W3 Schools to experiment.
