It would be better to use an external style sheet I think.

It depends. CSS would be done in a separate CSS file that is linked to your HTML page, specifically linked in the head tag of your HTML markup. If you are trying to get styling done in the paragraph HTML tag, you need to specify an attribute for style inside the <p> tag. You can specify more than one style property. As follows: <p style="font-size:10px; color: blue"> This is a paragraph </p> you can also add a <style> tag and specify your CSS in there. The syntax will be 'key:value' pairs. After the selector tag and code block. Such as: p { color: blue; font-size: 10px; } "p" is the selector. The brackets are the code block. The css properties and values go inside the code block. This same 'key:value' syntax is used in a CSS stylesheet as well.

Yes, but your code becomes super long and difficult to navigate if everything (HTML, JS and CSS) are all on the same page. That's why it's good to keep them separate, But it's a good practice either way. So yes, in the head of your HTML add: <style>         p {      font-size: 10px;      color: blue;   } </style> When you specify a class, a period at the star of the selector defines it is a class. An element with an ID will have a '#' at the start of the selector tag, to specify an element with an ID.

There's no 'tags' in css... roughly only selectors, properties and values... There's a 'style tag' in html... to embed css rules declarations... There's also a 'style attribute' in 'html tags'... to embed specific css rules... To style all paragraphs, you should use the simple 'p' selector (all <p> tags in html content) in either embeded style tag or linked css: p { font-size: 2em; }
