CSS+HTML

In this Post we will learn how to beautify the website using CSS. CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. "The name Cascading Style Sheets actually comes from the magazine world, where style-sheet is how desktop publishing programs format and present the magazine's pages. Its a single file that dictates things like fonts and margins" (Cooper 93).

When using CSS first you must create a new page. The way CSS works is you add in a line of text to your HTML document in the head so that it know to pull information from the CSS document. Essentially the purpose of the CSS document is to tell the HTML document what to look like.
The first step to using CSS once you have created the document is to have p{ to specify what is changing the HTML then you can add things like font family to change the font, or font-size to change the size of the text.

This is what the site looks like with the added CSS. Using CSS it is possible to change many more things but here I kept it simple. However you can potentially change the background, text color, make the font scale with the screen and many more things.

How much does atheistic appeal matter to you? Does everything have to be pretty or are you fine with just the basics.
