width: 100%;
/* Full width */
background-color: #ddd; /* Grey background */
}
.skills {
text-align: right;
/* Right-align text */
padding-right: 20px; /* Add some right padding */
line-height:
40px; /* Set the line-height to center the text inside the skill bar, and to expand
the height of the container */
color: white; /* White text
color */
}
.html
