Cascading Style Sheets Made Easy

I've been wondering for a while how best to try and explain cascading style sheets in a simple and easy to understand way.


Jim Flack's site has the most wonderful explanation of CSS I've read in a long time. Visit his site and read about simple and effective CSS. I was so impressed by his article that I asked if I could feature it here on HTMLCOOK.



Once you've read that article you might like to do some work on your own, playing around with a few CSS files yourself. I've found a great way of finding ideas for CSS. Find a site you like and look for the CSS file referenced in the HTML. Put the location of the CSS file in the browser and you'll be able to download it. Save them all in a folder somewhere and have a good look at them. I guarantee you'll learn loads of interesting things. BUT don't blatantly copy someone elses' CSS. Create your own look and style.

Call your style sheet something relevant to your site. Use an essential keyword perhaps to add just one more benefit to your code.
