MORE CSS PROPERTIES : Let’s have a look at some of the CSS properties we can add to our HTML elements to make our web pages more exciting.
As you know already, CSS is always made up of a property and a value. There are hundreds of different CSS properties and values, but here are some of the most common:
| CSS property name | What does it do? | Example values |
| background-color | Sets the colour of your background | red; black; white; yellow; |
| color | Sets the colour of your text | red; black; white; yellow; |
| text-align | Positions your text around the page | left; right; center; |
| font-size | Changes the size of your text | 12px; 20pt; |
| float | Positions your element to the left or the right of another element | left; right; none; |
| height | Sets the height of your element | 100px; 100%; |
| width | Sets the width of your element | 100px; 100%; |
| border | Gives your element a border | 1px solid black; |
| margin | Adds space around your element | 10px; |

Graphics on your computer screen are made up of tiny coloured dots called PIXELS (px). You can tell your browser how many pixels you want to be in a HTML element.
