Intro To CASCADING STYLE SHEETS
CSS represents an acronym for ‘Cascading Style Sheets’. And for those who are using it CSS is a an extension of HTML who allow you to style your web page. We can start by making a simple example of style changes to make words bold. In HTML you would use <b> like :
<b>Strong bold</b>
It is a very easy task, and works just fine, and is nothing bad with it. Though that if you want to change all the text that you bold it, you have to go to every spot in the page and change the tag.

<h> Heading tags that range from are <h1></h1> to <h6></h6>, these are going to mark the headings in the pages. <h1> shall be the most wrapped and the last important <h6> tag.
