Building my ‘About’ page:

For text on the site, I needed to create a CSS rule that applies over every page. When I was designing my site, I found that black was a very harsh colour for the text with the rest of the colour scheme, so instead I used a dark grey that’s #666666.

For readability I have used a 120% line height. The extra 20% allows for extra room to comfortably read.

p.intro {

    font-size110%;
    line-height120%;
}
 
This rule is for a paragraph intro where the text is slightly bolder and an introduction. It helps for skim reading and also delivers the important information quickly.

As this rule applies to all text on the site, it styles the text on my About page.

The class’s .left/.right apply to floating an image either left or right in the editor. The image of the owl has a class that positions the image to the right of the text. And same would apply for positioning an image on the left if i wanted to. To apply the class to the image:

<img class=“right” src=“images/owl_about_page_transparent.png” alt=“Owl Cartoon Character” />

The class is placed in between the img and src tags.
