What is CSS?
CSS controls how web pages are presented. Layout, fonts, margins, colors, borders - you get the idea. With CSS, a single file can provide the presentation information for hundreds or even thousands of pages on a web site.
Your marketing department says everything should be red now, what are you going to do? Hunt down everything that says blue on eleven thousand html pages and change it? Not if you use CSS. You’ll change blue to red in a few places in the CSS file and call it a day.
Tomorrow Murphy is going to show you how to push iWeb past some of its apparent limits. Learning a little CSS today will help us in that endeavor.
By the way, CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets.

Can you tell me what HTML editor you were using for What is CSS? It seemed like Dreamweaver, but not nearly as intensive or hard. Is it shareware?
Thanks.
