Introduction to CSS(Why CSS?)
 HTML was primarily used for defining the content of a document like paragraphs, headings
etc. with no formatting
 With HTML 3.2 specifications, the formatting tags like color, font etc. were added
 When HTML was used for creating user interface for large web applications, with
hundreds of web pages, formatting individual web pages posed challenges
 To overcome this challenge, World Wide Web Consortium(W3C) introduced CSS
