HTML & CSS for Beginners Part 13: Background Images

Ever wondered how to get text on top of an image on your website? Well that's exactly what I look at in this video!

I also dive in to some of the ways we can control our background images with CSS, taking a look at background-repeat, background-position, and background-size.

This video really helped me. I'm very new to Web Development and for 3 days I was hurting my head over how to show more of my background image, little did I know my understanding of padding was very poor. Awesome and helpful video!

I was having the hardest time getting a local image to show up, but your explanation of the "../" was perfect and I'm off to the races now. Thank you!

One additional advice if I may. Always, always optimize your images whatever format type is. jpg, svg or png or others. It's all about speed. I use guetzli for jpg, svg cleaner for svg's and optipng for png images. Especially jpg's, they can be very big in terms of bites and if someone have slower internet it will take more time for them to download image that is 100's of MB.. where instead you can reduce size to 100KB..

best video I encountered! I'm fairly new at coding and I was following another video step by step and in the end, the image wouldn't even load. I realized there were a number of things I didn't understand in that video but, lo and behold, in this video I not only got it to work but I learned some key concepts. Thank you!!
