Okay, so today I messed around with “solo te,” which I think means “only you” in Spanish? I wasn’t totally sure, but it sounded cool, and I wanted to see if I could make a simple webpage with just that phrase and maybe a nice background.
Getting Started
First, I fired up my code editor. I just use a basic text editor, nothing fancy. Then, I created a new HTML file. You know, the usual stuff:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Solo Te Page</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
I saved it as “*”. Pretty standard, right?
Adding the Text
Next, I needed to actually put the “solo te” text on the page. I decided to make it big and bold, so I used an <h2> tag for that:
Inside my body I did:
<body>
<h2>solo te</h2>
</body>
I opened the file in my browser, and boom, there it was: “solo te”. But it looked kinda plain, just black text on a white background.
Making it Look Nice
Time to spice things up! I wanted a cool background. I thought, “Maybe a gradient?” So, I added some CSS to the <head> section, inside <style> tags:
I picked some random colors I liked (#e66465 and #9198e5), refreshed the page, and… much better! A nice, smooth gradient. I also center the text and make it white,and I use font-size to set h2.
The Finished Product
And that’s pretty much it! I spent maybe 10 minutes on this, tops. It’s super simple, but I learned a little bit about gradients, and I got to play around with some basic HTML and CSS. It’s not going to win any awards, but it was a fun little experiment. Might try adding some images or animations later, who knows!
