Alrighty. Time to learn CSS.
CSS means 'Cascading Style Sheets'. HTML is the meaning, while CSS is the presentation. Got it.
The intro mentions borders, which is exciting! Looking forwards to that. Along with being able to use color.
Inline, internal, and external! Verrrry exciting. Let me try this...
Red!
Bravo!
However, the tutorial says that inline -- what I did up above there -- should be avoided in the long run. More specifically, it clarifys that doing that styles a single paragraph, when more often than not you want to style an entire page. I'm not sure how the code example given works, and I would prefer if this document doesn't have a pre-set look, but we'll see.
Just noticed that you can't have more than one 'body' part, which is annoying. That would make breaking up the page a lot easier-- oh well.
Ah, now it's introducing some of the things that I noticed in the Neocities dashboard. Or, at least, the code it automatically puts in the header. How does this work exactly? Can I just...?
Alright. Did the font change for this?
Nope. Nope it did not. Okay. Gotta find out why it didn't work. Yay, coding.
Okay, it seems it can only work in the external type of thing? Which means I'd need to re-style the entire page if I want some practice in it. I'm going to use that to make the font not-the-default font.
Well, it doesn't work, at the moment. I think I should just follow along with the tutorial instead of trying to jump ahead...
Okay, I'm doing everything it tells me to, but it is NOT working! I have the css sheet linked at the top like I'm supposed to, but nooooo, it's being stupid and stuff. Argh.
I don't know why I thought this would be easy.
I'm going to take a break. Maybe I'll try a different tutorial, like one Neocities reccommends. Maybe those will make more sense.
Wait a minute-- I just noticed that, from the external link to the page, it shows up correctly!! Like, okay, the CSS says navy text, and it does it!!! Why?? Why is it that when the website is visited, it doesn't work properly? Arceus have mercy...
Okay, I've learned about forced refresh. That means I can't use the refresh button, but instead the keyboard shortcut ctrl+f5. It ignores the pre-downloaded cache and makes it so I can actually update the page.
