Week 9

I have never used CSS before at all. I do not really understand it. It seems like the idea is that it changes the way what you have written in HTML is displayed on the final web document. This saves time and space when coding in HTML because the CSS coding eliminates the need to do some of the style and font changes in the HTML itself. CSS sheets are a list of rules that describe how HTML should format and display content on a webpage for various circumstances. The way I understand it, it would enable you to say something like "all text in a paragraph that is above a certain font size should be bold and red." Then you wouldn't have to code the text as bold and red for every sized 20 font phrase in a document because the CSS would do that work for you.

As with the HTML tutorials last week, the CSS tutorials will be useful to look back to when actually using CSS but aren't really hugely helpful now aside from helping me(hopefully) to correctly understand what exactly CSS does. I have trouble understanding what the tutorials are getting at sometimes but class last week clarified all of my HTML questions, so I'm assuming that this will most likely also be the case with regards to CSS.


Muddy Point: No muddy point from last week's class :)
