## Learning CSS with GreatToCode
### CSS Basics
**CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)** is used to style HTML elements on your web page. By separating the structure (HTML) from the design (CSS), you can create well-organized, visually appealing web pages.
### CSS Example
**Objective**: Learn how to apply CSS to style HTML elements such as headings, paragraphs, and links.
**HTML Code:**
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>CSS Example</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
<header>
<h1>My Awesome Webpage</h1>
</header>
<main>
<p>This is a sample paragraph to demonstrate CSS styling. Enjoy learning CSS!</p>
<a href="#">Click Me!</a>
</main>
<footer>
<p>© 2024 My Awesome Webpage</p>
</footer>
</body>
</html>
```
**CSS Code (styles.css):**
```css
/* Basic Reset */
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
background-color: #f0f0f0;
}
header {
background-color: #333;
color: white;
text-align: center;
padding: 10px 0;
}
h1 {
margin: 0;
}
main {
padding: 20px;
text-align: center;
}
p {
font-size: 18px;
color: #333;
}
a {
color: #1e90ff;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}
footer {
background-color: #333;
color: white;
text-align: center;
padding: 10px 0;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
}
```
