<link href="source" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> *to make something bold just use the <b> HTML tag*

To use CSS within HTML you can use the '<script> </script>' tags or you can use: <link rel="stylesheet" href="(put the location of your CSS here)"> To link to an external stylesheet. I would normally use an external stylesheet as I think it's easier. Hope this helped! :)

All you need is to put a link tag in the HEAD section of your HTML file that will link to the CSS file's location. Here's an example: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Example</title> <link href="C:\Example\inAction.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> </body> </html>

if you only need a few items bold through out the site, just wrap the text in <b>text here<\b> tags. it is a more effecient option.

You will have to put the following code inbetween the <head> and </head> in the HTML page where you want the stylesheet to apply. <link rel="stylesheet" href="pathtocss.css" /> The type="text/css" attribute is not needed anymore.

Everyone has given a good answer, I'm going to add onto their answers. It's key to remember where you are working from, when you start to get into more advanced projects you'll have folders organizing your JavaScript, CSS, SCSS (preprocessor for CSS), Resources (Images, Fonts, etc) Example Folder structure: CSS/ style.css IMG/ bg1.jpg logo.svg logo2.png JS/ function.js index.html If I want to link an external style sheet to index you would have to tell the browser where this style sheet is relative to where you're currently working. If you're in index.html then it'd be as simple as <link rel="stylesheet" href="CSS/style.css">
