Jerz: Writing for the Internet (EL236)

Introduction to CSS

Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) help you take control of the design of your site. If you have personlized your MoveableType display, you have already fiddled with CSS.

When used in the right way, CSS lets you separate the content of your site from information on the color, layout, and design. The design information is centralized, so that you only have to change one file, and hundreds of pages on your Web site will automatically reflect the changes.

While CSS may seem to be more bother than it's worth when you create a very small site, understanding CSS will help you make sense of huge re-design jobs (on sites with hundreds or thousands of pages, such as my own jerz.setonhill.edu).

See instructions: CSS In-Class Activity

(If you are interested, you can find much more on CSS on the Internet. Try searching for "CSS tutorial" for more step-by-step instructions, or "CSS reference" for a detailed description of exactly what you can change and how.)
