How to add a Style Sheet to your web page.

Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) is one of the most useful and powerful tools in a web developers arsenal when it comes to the formatting and appearance of a web page. Without it web development would be a far more boring, repetitive and inflexible experience.\

Although a web developer could potentially place their styles in the web page they are developing, this is not good practice. If the developer wished to add another web page using the same styles, they wouldn’t be able to, whereas if they had used a CSS file the work needed would essentially be nil.

To add a CSS file to your web page, it couldn’t be simpler, after you have created the file you simply have to add a single line of code into the HTML <head> tag.

<head>

<link href="example.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

</head>

Obviously, you will need to replace the word “example” with what you have called your CSS file. Any subsequent web pages which you wish to use the same styles only require that one line of code as well. CSS documents have made web development far easier for developers and will only continue to become more relevant.
