This page is my opportunity to practice my HTML and CSS skills, and develop them further. Coding is one of those things that requires practice and reinforcement; without that, nothing sticks, and the skills dissipate.

I have been going through the W3Schools tutorials on a pretty regular basis. There is a lot of information, and a lot of great practice there, but I have not been applying that here. So here goes. I am going to place some of this in a new page devoted to text styles. Plus, that will give me a chance to do some linking.
Just back from vacation, and I did some editing to the order of this page. I also edited the css file to center the text on the page, and take up just 70% of the space. I also aligned the index links above so that they are centered.
On the W3 Schools site4, I worked through the box model and outline styles. I've created an outline style here, which is a paragraph class called "boxy".
I added a linked index, using the non-breaking space entity. I also added ID tags to use the index, but right now, the page is not long enough to see if this worked or not. This page suggests it should work.
This is a paragraph with a background color
This is a paragraph with a text color
This is a paragraph with a border color
This lesson on W3 has some really good examples of color in DIV tags.
Today, I converted all of the style information into an external stylesheet. I also moved the Google Fonts call to the stylesheet (see 4th item above).
This first page has some Google fonts information embedded, and uses some very basic CSS styling. I am having to remind myself of a lot of basic information. Here are some of the references that I have used for today's work. I do love the W3 Schools site. It is extremely well-designed, and the interactive demonstrations are very helpful.
I am doing the editing in BBEdit, which I just downloaded in the free version. It is the sucessor to Text Wrangler, which I have used in the past. I will be using Filezilla for FTP to the subdomain homebrew.sombermoose.com.
