CSS Basics
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is commonly thought of as the next step from HTML, though this is not precisely true; for one thing, it doesn’t replace HTML…and for another, CSS doesn’t even need HTML, as long as there is some kind of XML base to work with.
Basically, CSS is like a decorator or designer; though you’re still stuck with clunky old HTML (or whatever), you can now get it to do so much…less. In fact, as little as possible. By taking most of the control away from HTML tags and developing the presentation of the site with CSS, you’ll likely see a vast improvement in your options for flexibility, creativity, and adaptability.
If this sounds like potentially a lot of work to you, you’ll be relieved to learn that CSS will actually end up saving you a lot of work. Once you’ve created your style sheet (.css file), you can apply it to any number of pages or sites…instead of having to rewrite the HTML for each one. Think of it as a ‘universal makeover kit’ for your basic HTML content.
Of course, if you’ve never taken a look at the nuts and bolts of HTML, you should probably get a decent handle on basic markup language before trying to implement CSS. The good news? There’s very little reason for you to spend too much time learning all of the arcane details, because CSS will just replace much of what you learn anyway.
Just for the record: we’re not pretending to be CSS experts or anything. This is as much a learning exercise for us as anything else; if you find anything that we got wrong, please feel free to let us know! Oh, and yes, we are fully aware of the irony of a CSS site that looks rather drab and boring
