Grumpy Cat

CSS With Grumpy Cat

Open this link in a new tab: Grumpy Cat Code

Keep it open! We are going to be using CSS
to make it look way better.

I have the link open in a new tab.

Screenshot of CodePen UI

CodePen can show us both our HTML and our CSS.

We will use CSS code to make our output look something like this.

In your CSS panel, add this piece of code which
creates a new design rule called profile-pic.

.profile-pic {
  width: 200px;
}

In CSS, a design rule like this is called a class.

Nothing will happen yet!

In your HTML panel, find the first image:

<img src="http://gathergather.co.nz/grumpy-cat.png">

And add class="profile-pic", so it looks like this:

<img class="profile-pic" src="http://gathergather.co.nz/grumpy-cat.png">

Cartoon Grumpy Cat should now be much smaller.

In your CSS panel, on a new line,
create another class called page-title:

.page-title {
  font-family: "Comic Sans MS";
  font-size: 50px;
  text-align: center;
  text-shadow: 5px 5px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
}

Then in your HTML, find the h1 and apply the class:

<h1 class="page-title">Grumpy Cat</h1>

The page heading should now be fancy as!

At the top of your CSS, on a new line,
add this new design rule called body:

body {
  background-color: gold;
  background-image: url(http://subtlepatterns.com/patterns/food.png);
  font-family: sans-serif;
}

Your background should now be yellow with a pattern.

Below the body rule you just created, on a new line,
create another element rule for all p tags.

p {
  color: brown;
  font-size: 12px;
  line-height: 130%;
}

Your paragraphs should now be brown and a bit bigger.
