# Methods for Adding CSS
-In this exerrcise, you're going to practice adding CSS to an HTML file using all three methods: external CSS, internal CSS, and inline CSS.
+In this exerrcise, you're going to practice adding CSS to an HTML file using all three methods: external CSS, internal CSS, and inline CSS. You should only be using type selectors for this exercise when adding styles via the external and internal methods. You should also use keywords for colors (e.g. "blue" instead of using RGB or HEX values).
-There are three elements for you to add styles to, each of which uses a different method of adding CSS to it, as noted in the outcome image below. All other exercises in this section will have a CSS file provided and linked for you, but for this exercise you will have to create the file and link it in the HTML file yourself.

This is all about practicing using these different methods and getting the syntax right.

+The properties you need to add to each element are:
+
+* `div`: a red background, white text, a font size of 32px, center aligned, and bold
+* `p`: a green background, white text, and a font size of 18px
+* `button`: an orange background and a font size of 18px

There are several elements in the HTMl file provided, which you will have to add either class or ID attributes to as noted in the outcome image below. You will then have to add rules in the CSS file provided using the correct selector syntax. Look over the outcome image carefully, and try to keep in mind what elements look similarly styled (classes), which ones may be completely unique from the rest (ID), and which ones have slight variations from others (multiple classes).

+It isn't entirely important what class or ID values you use, as the focus here is being able to add the attributes and use the correct selector syntax to style elements. For the colors in this exercise, try using a non-keyword value (RGB, HEX, or HSL). The properties you need to add to each element are:
+
+* **All odd numbered elements**: a light red/pink background, and a list of fonts containing `Verdana` as the first option and `sans-serif` as a fallback
+* **The second element**: blue text and a font size of 36px
+* **The third element**: in addition to the styles for all odd numbered elements, add a font size of 24px
+* **The fourth element**: a light green background, a font size of 24px, and bold
+
+Quick tip: in VS Code, you can change which format colors are displayed in (RGB, HEX, or HSL) by hovering over the color value in the CSS and clicking the top of the popup that appears!

Let's build a little off the previous exercise, where you (hopefully) added multiple classes to a single element in order to apply two different rules to it.
-Instead of having a single element with two different rules applied, though, we're instead going to give two elements each a unique class name, then add rules for styles that both elements share as well as their own unique styles. Make sure you take a good look at the outcome image below to see exactly what is unique about each element, and what both elements have in common.

# Chaining Selectors
+
+Credits for the images in this exercise go to [Katho Mutodo](https://www.pexels.com/@photobykatho?utm_content=attributionCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pexels) and [Andrea Piacquadio](https://www.pexels.com/@olly?utm_content=attributionCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pexels).
+
With this exercise we've provided you a completed HTML file, so you will only have to edit the CSS file. It's more important to understanding how chaining different selectors works for this exercise than actually adding the attributes.
-We have two different elements for you to style, each with two class names where one of the class names is shared. The goal here is to chain the selectors for both elements so that each have a unique style applied despite using a shared class selector. In other words, you want an element that has both X and Y to have one set of styles, while an element with X and Z has a completely different set of styles.

In other words, you want an element that has both X and Y to have one set of styles, while an element with X and Z has a completely different set of styles. We included the original images as well so that you can see how the styles you will be adding look in comparison, so do not add any styles to them.
+
+The properties you need to add to each element are:
+
+* Make the element with both the `avatar` and `proportioned` classes 300 pixels wide, then give it a height so that it retains its original square proportions (don't hardcode in a pixel value for the height!)
+* Make the element with both the `avatar` and `distorted` classes 200 pixels wide, then make its height twice as big as its width (here you should hardcode in a pixel value)
## Desired Outcome
### Self Check
-- Did you properly chain class selectors for each rule?
