Style the Header Section

Part of the CSS Mastery section of Coddy's HTML journey — lesson 26 of 43.

Challenge

Easy

In this mini-project, you’ll bring a fun hobbies landing page to life — using only CSS.

The HTML is already written for you. Your job is to style it step by step, just like a real front-end developer. It’s a great way to practice real-world layout, buttons, and styling tricks!

Here’s a preview of what you’ll build at the end:

In the first challenge, we’ll start by styling the top part of the page — the header (also called the "hero" section). Right now, it’s just plain text sitting at the top. Your goal is to turn it into a clean, eye-catching introduction to the page.

Your CSS Challenge:

Remove default spacing: set margin: 0 on the body and add a background color to it.
Style the .hero section with a background color (rgb(30, 207, 104)) and padding 50px.
Use Flexbox on .hero to center everything:
1. display: flex
2. flex-direction: column
3. align-items: center
4. justify-content: center
5. text-align: center
Use .hero h1 and .hero p to style the text.

Make sure the top section looks clean and eye-catching.
