Basic style

To add some information about colors, we should change our .css file. This example will make our page white, but our paragraphs will have a yellow background and our header will be blue!

BODY {
  background: white;
  color: black;
}

H1 {
  background: white;
  color: blue;;
}

P {
  background: yellow;
  color: black; 
}

Things to notice:

I start each "rule" with the name of a tag, like "BODY" or "P"
The rule has {braces} around it. Inside the rule, I can tell it what color I want the background and text color to be. I can change other stuff too, like putting a border around it by saying "border: solid black;" inside the rule.
You need to put a semicolon after every line inside the braces.

If you try to load this page, you'll get something like this:

This is the header of my page!

This is a paragraph about me. My name is Rosemary, and I'm 26 years old. I like to program computers, teach, and make webpages for my friends. I also like to play with my two cats, Ra and Nephthys. I live in a house with pink and turquoise paint.

This is another paragraph about me. I have a little brother. I lived in ten different places when I was a kid! My mom and dad live in Boston, Massachusetts. I miss them a lot.
