Incredible work! You used CSS to alter text and images on a website. Throughout this lesson, you learned concepts including:
- The
font-family
property defines the typeface of an element. font-size
controls the size of text displayed.font-weight
defines how thin or thick text is displayed.- The
text-align
property places text in the left, right, or center of its parent container. - Text can have two different color attributes:
color
andbackground-color
.color
defines the color of the text, whilebackground-color
defines the color behind the text. - CSS can make an element transparent with the
opacity
property. - CSS can also set the background of an element to an image with the
background-image
property. - The
!important
flag will override any style, however it should almost never be used, as it is extremely difficult to override.
