It's super easy to do, and it can lead to a very nice touch. These little things won't make or break a site by any means, but they do make a difference in the user experience, and with how easy it is, there's no reason not to :)

And there was I thinking you was going to talk about SASS. How pleasingly surprised I was to discover something new. I have seen this on many website yet never gave it a second thought when highlighting text. Your teaching is true to your word "Making the Internet a little bit more awesome, " so the small things in life really do matter!

Mom, Kevin Powell besets me! I am replaying his Scrimba course and the same time I am getting his YT notification. I am even doing the same layout. If it wasn't for the best css course ever and the best css channel ever I would be really scared.

Hey, Mr. Powell, can you please make a video regarding HTML semantics? I'm terribly confused about that, and I know that they play a part in site SEO. I've tried numerous tutorials, but I'm still in the dark about how and when exactly to use them.

Type: background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0, 0);
If you want it to be invisible
