How to create a responsive blog layout with CSS?
A blog layout consists of a header. That header consists of a logo, then the menu, and after that the blog heading, content, etc. With that, the link for some other blogs can also be seen. In the bottom, you have a footer. The footer should have a copyright text. Let us see how to create a blog layout.
Create the header
The header of a blog consists of a logo on the left and then the website name −
<div class="header"> <h1>Logo ↶</h1> <h2>Website Name</h2> </div>
Position the header
Here, we will position the logo and website name −
.header {
padding: 40px;
background: #7b1abc;
color: white;
}
.header h1 {
font-size: 40px;
}
.header h2 {
text-align: center;
font-size: 30px;
}
Create the navigation menu
Use the <nav> to create the navigation menu −
<nav> <a class="links selected" href="#">Home</a> <a class="links" href="#">Login</a> <a class="links" href="#">Register</a> <a class="links" href="#">Contact Us</a> <a class="links" href="#">More Info</a> </nav>
Position the navigation menu
The overflow and height for the property is to be set to auto. Also, the width is 100% for the navigation menu −
nav {
width: 100%;
background-color: rgb(39, 39, 39);
overflow: auto;
height: auto;
}
Create the blog header and body
First, the blog header is set and then comes the body of the blog. The body comes under the <p> element −
<div class="post">
<div class="blogHeader">
<h1>Blog Heading</h1>
</div>
<div class="blog-body">
<p>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit, amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Deserunt non neque eos eaque veritatis praesentium.
</p>
</div>
</div>
Position the blog header and body
The div for the blog header and body is positioned on the left using the float property with the value left −
.blog {
margin-top: 20px;
width: 75%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
height: 400px;
}
.post {
margin-top: 20px;
float: left;
}
.blogHeader {
font-size: 36px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
Define the footer
The footer for the blog layout i.e., the HTML web page is set using the <footer> element −
<footer> Copyright © </footer>
Position the footer
The position property is used with the value fixed to fix the footer. To position the footer in the bottom, the bottom property is used −
footer {
color: white;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
bottom: 0;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
font-size: 30px;
height: 100px;
padding: 20px;
background-color: rgb(9, 141, 101);
text-align: center;
}
Example
To create a blog layout with CSS, the code is as follows −
<!DOCTYPE html>

<style>

}
.header {

color: white;
}
.header h1 {
font-size: 40px;
}
.header h2 {
text-align: center;
font-size: 30px;
}
nav {
width: 100%;
background-color: rgb(39, 39, 39);
overflow: auto;
height: auto;
}
.links {

text-align: center;
padding: 14px;
