Why is CSS code placed inside the head?
CSS code is placed inside the head of an HTML document because it should be loaded before the page content for better performance. The HTML code inside the body of the document is loaded progressively from top to bottom, but if the CSS code is placed inside the body, the browser may have to download it multiple times, causing a delay in page rendering and affecting the user experience. Placing it in the head ensures that it is loaded before the page begins rendering.
Example:
html Copy code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Webpage</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to my Webpage!</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<img src="image.jpg" alt="My Image">
</body>
</html>
In this example, a link tag has been added in the head section to include an external CSS file named style.css. Placing the CSS code inside the head tag along with the title tag ensures that it is loaded before the page content inside the body tag.
How to start basic html page
To start a basic HTML page, follow these steps:
html Copy code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>
<!DOCTYPE html> declaration defines the document type and should be included at the top of every HTML document.<html> element is the root element of an HTML page and contains two child elements: <head> and <body>.<head> element contains meta information about the document, such as the title (<title>).<body> element contains the visible content of the document. This is where you add headings (<h1> to <h6>), paragraphs (<p>), images (<img>), links (<a>), and other HTML elements.Note: You can add CSS styles to your HTML page by creating a separate file with a .css extension and linking to it in the <head> section using <link> tag. You can also add JavaScript to your HTML page by creating a separate file with a .js extension and linking to it at the bottom of the <body> section using <script> tag.
How to add CSS for a webpage?
The easiest way to add CSS is by using the <style> tag. The tag is placed in the <head> element, within which you can place your desired CSS.
Example:
html Copy code
<head>
<style>
body {
background-color: blue;
}
</style>
</head>

basic structure of a page
html Copy code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">

</head>
<body>

<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
How can I add font-family on HTML?
You can add a font-family to HTML by adding <style> tags in the <head> of your HTML document, adding the font-family property to it. For example:
html Copy code
<head>
<style>
body {
font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;
}
</style>
</head>
This will set the font-family of the body of the HTML document to "Times New Roman," a serif type font.
For more information, see the MDN web docs:

how to connect css to html
CSS can be connected to HTML by using the <link> tag. This must appear in the <head> element of the HTML document. The href attribute should be set to the path of the CSS file. An example is below:
code Copy code
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">
</head>
how to position vertical listed elements in the center of the head part in css
To position vertical listed items in the center of the head part in CSS, you can use the flex property. Use the justify-content: center to vertically center the elements, along with the align-items: center if needed.
css Copy code
header {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. AI bots are able to learn from conversations with users and expand their knowledge this way.
SheCodes Athena will help you with technical questions about your code using artificial intelligence to find the answer. Imagine a super powerful human who has memorized everything on the internet and can access that knowledge in a matter of seconds. 🤯
SheCodes Athena can answer most coding-related questions, even complicated ones! It can even find bugs in your code and tell you how to fix them in just a few seconds. Impressive, right?
Just remember we're still in testing mode so the AI may return strange or incorrect replies. Feel free to message us if this happens!
SheCodes Athena can only reply to coding-related technical questions. The same type of questions you would ask in the channels on Slack.
For questions that are not coding-related, write us here 😃
You should treat Athena like a SheCodes team member, so always be polite! 😊 Ask your questions as detailed as possible, just like you would do on Slack.
Here are some examples:
- Prettier isn't working on my VS Code. How do I fix this?
- How do I make bullet points with different colors using the list element?
- My code in Codesandbox is having some issues. Can you please tell me what the issue is? [Include the link to your Codesandbox]
For now, SheCodes Athena is limited to 5 questions per day for each student.
In that case, you can either ask SheCodes Athena a follow-up question, or you can post on the designated weekly channel on Slack!
Our technical assistants are still available on Slack and are always happy to help! 😍💪
Remember, questions are limited to 1000 characters.
- If you're working with an HTML file: Post a snippet of your code related to the issue you're having (just copy the code and paste it into the question box).
- If you're working with Codesandbox: Good news, you can just post the link to your Codesandbox and the AI Assistant will be able to view your code.
- If you have a longer question that would require an entire HTML file or more than 1000 characters, post it in the designated weekly channels on Slack! 😃
Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, among other elements. She received her name from the city of Athens, which she is known for protecting.
Much like the goddess Athena, SheCodes Athena is also incredibly wise and can solve complicated coding puzzles in a matter of seconds! 😍
Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.
So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. 👩💻🤝💻
