00:00:00,512 --> 00:00:04,092
Listen, folks.
The CSS properties are never-ending.

2
00:00:04,286 --> 00:00:06,035
Let me show you a few more.

3
00:00:06,253 --> 00:00:08,723
What if I want to change

4
00:00:08,723 --> 00:00:12,054
the spacing between the lines 
in my song lyrics?

5
00:00:12,439 --> 00:00:15,903
I could use the `line-height` property,

6
00:00:15,903 --> 00:00:19,001
and specify something like 15px.

7
00:00:19,212 --> 00:00:24,755
Or maybe better would be 1.5em,
that makes the line height

8
00:00:24,755 --> 00:00:28,034
150 percent of whatever the text size was.

9
00:00:28,481 --> 00:00:31,785
What if I want my song lyrics to be
center-aligned?

10
00:00:32,133 --> 00:00:36,232
I could use the `text-align` property,
and specifiy `center`.

11
00:00:36,528 --> 00:00:39,410
I could also change it 
to `right`, or `justified`,

12
00:00:39,410 --> 00:00:41,783
though I think that would look a bit odd.

13
00:00:42,108 --> 00:00:45,327
What if I want to underline 
my main paragraph?

14
00:00:45,895 --> 00:00:49,430
I could use the 
`text-decoration` property

15
00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:51,888
and specify `underline`.

16
00:00:53,224 --> 00:00:56,685
What if I want to remove the underline 
from my links,

17
00:00:56,685 --> 00:00:58,473
like that link to Wikipedia?

18
00:00:58,722 --> 00:01:01,289
Well, the browser has 
a default set of styles

19
00:01:01,289 --> 00:01:02,852
that it applies to everything.

20
00:01:02,852 --> 00:01:05,317
Like `text-decoration: underline` 
for links.

21
00:01:05,473 --> 00:01:09,311
But we can use CSS to override 
the browser's default styles,

22
00:01:09,311 --> 00:01:11,363
and say `text-decoration: none`.

23
00:01:12,049 --> 00:01:19,335
Just add this rule here: 
a { text-decoration: none; }

24
00:01:20,283 --> 00:01:22,815
And you see now 
it's no longer underlined.

25
00:01:22,929 --> 00:01:24,998
But we should be careful when we do that,

26
00:01:24,998 --> 00:01:27,623
because the defaults 
are usually picked for a reason.

27
00:01:27,698 --> 00:01:31,404
If links aren't underlined, 
how will people know that they're links?

28
00:01:31,489 --> 00:01:35,038
What if they never click them because
they think they're just normal text?

29
00:01:35,102 --> 00:01:38,680
If we do remove that underline, 
we should be making sure

30
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,015
that the links look 
significantly different in some other way.

31
00:01:42,094 --> 00:01:43,933
Otherwise, we'll make users sad.

32
00:01:43,991 --> 00:01:45,911
And sad users make me sad.

33
00:01:46,185 --> 00:01:48,380
They should make you sad, too.

34
00:01:49,024 --> 00:01:51,536
I could tell you 
about text properties all day.

35
00:01:51,617 --> 00:01:54,179
But I won't, because 
we have so much more to cover.

36
00:01:54,234 --> 00:01:56,108
There are hundreds of CSS properties.

37
00:01:56,108 --> 00:01:58,173
And browsers are adding more 
every year.

38
00:01:58,215 --> 00:02:00,562
I probably won't ever tell you 
about all of them.

39
00:02:00,562 --> 00:02:03,187
But hopefully I can tell you enough 
to get you excited.

40
00:02:03,187 --> 00:02:06,489
And then if you're wondering 
if there's a CSS property for some style

41
00:02:06,489 --> 00:02:08,347
and it's not in our documentation here,

42
00:02:08,347 --> 00:02:11,102
you can just visit 
your local search engine and find out.

43
00:02:11,187 --> 00:02:12,737
For example, if you're wondering

44
00:02:12,737 --> 00:02:15,308
if there's a way 
to add a drop-shadow to your text,

45
00:02:15,308 --> 00:02:17,961
just search "CSS text shadow" 
on the Internet,

46
00:02:17,961 --> 00:02:19,446
and you'll see lots of results.

47
00:02:19,570 --> 00:02:21,734
Generally, being able 
to search the Internet

48
00:02:21,734 --> 00:02:23,142
for answers to your questions

49
00:02:23,142 --> 00:02:25,449
is a really important skill 
for a web developer.

50
00:02:25,449 --> 00:02:28,293
Because so many people 
have had the same questions as you,

51
00:02:28,293 --> 00:02:31,778
and 99.9 percent of the time, 
the answer is out there.

52
00:02:31,942 --> 00:02:34,525
You just have to get good at finding it.
