It stands for Cascading Style Sheet. It lets you modify the look and feel of your html elements in one area rather than individually modifying each html element.
If you check out the Basics Course on CSS you'll find everything you need to know.
Have fun,

33,990 PointsCSS (short for Cascading Style Sheets) allows us to control how HTML elements are styled and displayed on the screen. For example if you want a black background with white text we do this with CSS, you can read more about this here:

Now, looking at your code, you have everything done perfectly except the color of the text needs to be green, not blue :)
Hope that helps!!

14,428 PointsNot sure what your question is, but that code will turn any text in an h1 tag blue rather than the default black. However it would be better (separation of concerns) to have a separate file. IN that case, make a file this text
h1 {
color: blue;
}
and save it as "style.css" or whatever filename.css you want. Then your html should look like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
<h1>Some text here</h1>
note that this is a LINK tag and not a style tag! So the link tag goes and finds the css file and incorporates that code into your html document. But you'll need the .css file to be in the same directory (folder) as your html file.
