Explaination, Colors

Getting Started

Css is very hard to learn. If you are using a blog, then this is probably what you want to follow.
First off, you need to know the colors. The Basic Colors you will need to remember are these:
Red= #FF0000
Black= #000000
White = #FFFFFF
Green= #00FF00
Blue= #0000FF

Easy for me, because I don’t look at anything for those. Those will need to stay in the back of your head for future CSS Designing.
Second in this wonderful starter lesson, You will learn one of the secrets to Blogs with CSS. When  you go to a website like Redcowz, or This one, you will probably think that we are genius, Well we are but we don’t design codes off of the back of our heads. For some people css looks like this
AL:KHG
ZAJKLAB
SJKDBG:KAJB
ASLKJDBGKSJDBGKLJB
SDKJGBHSLDKGJBGLKSJDBG

But to me, it looks like this:
#content {
width:460px;
float:left;
font-size:1.2em;
overflow:hidden;
border-left:12px solid #fff;
border-bottom:20px solid #fff;
}
Yeah, confusing. But that is what lays everything out. Thats for the regulus, the theme that I am using.
What people do to make their css look great, is they copy the code that the theme uses right off the bat. What they do, is they go to see the original css, copy and paste it into their css box, and they edit it from there.
So you need to Go to “Edit Css” in your wordpress dashboard, And click View the original Css. Then you copy everything under the copyright into your css. Don’t worry, its not stealing.

Thats all for lesson one, but come back in a while and learn!

I have a question. How do I change the font?

You’ve caught me on one of the things that I have been trying to learn since I started. I think you have to change the font family, but I will learn as much as I can about it and make a page on it. You might have to wait until next week until I start it..
