There are three ways you can use to implement CSS: internal, external, and inline styles. Let’s break them down.
Internal CSS
Internal or embedded CSS requires you to add <style> tag in the <head> section of your HTML document.
This CSS style is an effective method of styling a single page. However, using this style for multiple pages is time-consuming as you need to put CSS rules to every page of your website.
External CSS
With external CSS, you’ll link your web pages to an external .css file, which can be created by any text editor in your device (e.g., Notepad++).
This CSS type is a more efficient method, especially for styling a large website. By editing one .css file, you can change your entire site at once.
Inline CSS
Inline CSS is used to style a specific HTML element. For this CSS style, you’ll only need to add the style attribute to each HTML tag, without using selectors.
This CSS type is not really recommended, as each HTML tag needs to be styled individually. Managing your website may become too hard if you only use inline CSS.
However, inline CSS in HTML can be useful in some situations. For example, in cases where you don’t have access to CSS files or need to apply styles for a single element only.
