CSS, stylish without the work!

CSS is the key to creating beautiful website pages. It controls the look and style of your HTML pages to customize the design your visitors will see. The CSS tutorials section will introduce the syntax and how it can be used to create vibrant pages.

Tips on How to Start

1. First you will probably want to create a design for your website, either on paper or in a photoshop program. Choose your color scheme and create an outline for it based on your html structure.
2. If you choose, you can place the css code directly into a webpage or into a file of its own. To create a new css file, simply create a new document using a basic, plain text editor. Rich text editors such as WordPad or Microsoft Word are not recommended because they tend to leave additional characters that cannot be read properly in an css page. Notepad and Notepad++ are excellent basic text programs for this.
3. When saving the file, ensure that the extension is changed to .css and not .txt. Remember that all filenames are case sensitive
