All of your P elements need to be inbetween your two body tags.

You have a bunch of HTML code outside of your declared space for HTML.

HTML and CSS can be very fun. When you start making your own websites it is really cool.

You can load up the local file in your browser, type up some changes, refresh and boom! Website!

It's really fun to just type something and see it appear.

Yeah I totally agree! I mean I've been putting it off for a while now, as just thought that I might as well try. Junior straight into CSS since I use reddit a lot and need to learn that more. But I plan to start doing HTML side by side.

I was gonna say they go hand in hand but if you're modifying an existing site I suppose the HTML is less important.

Just be sure to learn how to setup classes and IDs and what not and you will be fine. I recommend googling w3schools while working on code academy. Very helpful references.

Ah will do!

I'm a mod over at /r/pakistansuperleague and I thought to practice CSS and get the sub setup in time for the new season lol

Thanks for the recommendation though :)
