Github and Website Workshop/CSS-stylesheet

From OpenHatch wiki

Welcome to Challenge 5 of the Github and Website Workshop - setting up a stylesheet

The goal of this is to create our stylesheet and change the font styling of the page

First let's create the file:

  • type touch template.css in the terminal
  • Open template.css in your text editor

We’re going to be using Google Fonts to import a spiffy font

  • Select either a serif or sans serif font
  • Click “Add to Collection” on your desired font and select the “Use” tab
  • Select a light, normal, and bold font weight
  • Scroll down to step 3 and select the “@import” tab and copy that code into template.css

Example: @import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Source+Sans+Pro:400,900,300);

The challenge

Add some style to the body tag of your html file, using CSS

  • font color
  • font size
  • font weight
  • we recommend you make it so there are no margins (the default margins are not 0)
  • and finally - your new font

e.g. of using imported font:

font: 20px 'Source Sans Pro'; /* Font size and font family */

Try to add these styling yourself, using your previous knowledge of CSS and this reference
