Introduction to CSS Media Queries

In this article, I learned about applying different styles to different screens; with css examples on how to do so. I also learned about  what a Media query — is a powerful tool in a world where websites are viewed on a huge range of devices. What I find funny is that this website, which is all about a responsive page, does not have a responsive web design.

Responsive Web Design

In this article I learned more about what media queries are, and how to apply them in retrospect with CSS. This article gave a lot of examples of how to use them with aligning photos to get them in the layout you want.

    Soraya, I really enjoyed your post about responsive design. I feel as though you pulled the most important elements from the articles and presented them. I did not even notice the site about responsive design wasn’t responsive itself. That’s really funny! Someone should email the article’s author about that. I learned a lot from the responsive web design article about media queries as well. I’m planning to use the information from these articles to get better at imploring responsive design into my websites.
