How I Learned to Love CSS

It was 2012. I was trying to make a website look good. But I didn't know how to use CSS. So I just used tables and frames and inline styles. And then I realized that I had made a mess. So I decided to learn CSS. And it was the best decision I ever made. Now I can make websites look like a work of art. And I can also make them look like a disaster. It's all about the CSS.

The CSS Journey

body { /* This is a disaster, but it works. */ background-color: #1e1e1e; color: #d4d4d4; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; padding: 20px; line-height: 1.6; } /* This was the first time I learned that CSS is like a painting. You can make anything look good. */
