# CSS Exercises # CSS Exercises
These exercises are a series of CSS related tasks intended to complement the HTML and CSS content on The Odin Project. These exercises are a series of CSS related tasks intended to complement the HTML and CSS content on The Odin Project (TOP). They should only be done when instructed during the course of the curriculum.
These exercises should be done when instructed during the course of the curriculum. When doing these exercises, please use all the documentation and resources you need to accomplish them. You are _not_ intended to have any of this stuff memorized at this point. Check the docs, use Google, do what you need to do (besides checking the solutions) to get them done.

If you have a suggestion to improve an exercise, an idea for a new exercise, or notice an issue with an exercise, please feel free to open an issue after thoroughly reading our [contributing guide](https://github.com/TheOdinProject/theodinproject/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) in our main TOP repo.

1. Fork and copy this repository. To learn how to fork a repository, see the GitHub documentation on how to [fork a repo](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/fork-a-repo). Copies of repositories on your machine are called clones. If you need help cloning to your local environment you can learn how from the GitHub documentation on [cloning a repository](https://docs.github.com/en/github/creating-cloning-and-archiving-repositories/cloning-a-repository-from-github/cloning-a-repository). 1.

You can either open the file directly, or use something like VSCode's Live Server. * Copies of repositories on your machine are called clones.

3. For each exercise, view the README, and edit the CSS file to make the output in your browser look like the images provided. 2. Go to an exercise directory and open the HTML file in your browser. You can either open the file directly, or use something like VSCode's Live Server extension.
4. Each README has a "Self Check" list. Use this to make sure you haven't missed any important details in your implementation. 3. For each exercise, read the README thoroughly before starting any work.
5. Don't check the solutions until you're done! * Each README has a "Self Check" list. Use this to make sure you haven't missed any important details in your implementation.
5. Make your edits in the `index.html` and/or the `style.css` files in order to make the output in your browser look like the Desired Outcome image(s).
* Depending on the instructions of the exercise, you may only need to make edits in one of these files.
6. Don't check the solutions until you're done!
## Some hints ## Some hints
- The official solutions put all changes at the _end_ of the CSS file, which may duplicate some selectors (e.g. there might be a `body {}` in the given CSS, and another `body {}` in the solution). When you are working on an exercise, it is best practice to add your CSS to existing selectors instead of duplicating them at the end of the file. We're sacrificing this best practice in our official solutions to make it extra clear to you what things we changed to solve the exercise. - The official solutions put all changes at the _end_ of the CSS file, which may duplicate some selectors (e.g. there might be a `body {}` in the given CSS, and another `body {}` in the solution).

- In many cases, there will be multiple correct ways to solve these problems. The official solution isn't necessarily the _only right way_, but it is possible to do things in ways that are overall unhelpful. If your solution differs wildly from the official solution (and still passes the self-check criteria), feel free to ask about it in the chatroom. - In many cases, there will be multiple correct ways to solve these problems.
