Your First CSS Style Sheet

Cascading Style Sheets or CSS can be intimidating to the novice and even intermediate web designer. CSS is written differently from HTML and can seem almost random in how the styles are applied to web pages. But learning CSS is still a critical skill for doing web design professionally.

It is easy to learn but it designing is all depends upon your creativity . how you will creative designing will easy for because it is to use and but implementation is all depends on creativity.

 

CSS is one of the easiest languages to learn but one of the hardest to master. Kind of like hobbits from the Lord of the Rings.

I've spent hours and hours in the past messing around with CSS trying to get stuff right with no avail. I don't so much have this problem anymore but CSS can still throw me off sometimes.

 

@KenBrace and you didn't mention that there are some things that look good in a browser but awful in some other. I know most modern browsers have more compatibility with CSS than before but still it's hard to make things look just the same everywhere. I've yet to master CSS so I can make cross compatible sites.

What I do is I ignore old IE versions, in fact I ignore IE at all and just test my sites against Chrome, Firefox and Opera.

 

Thanks for the tutorials. I will use this in improving my website.
Here's another good site.

Me too. I don't even bother with old IE versions. I consider it a waste of time. Technology is moving on and there's no reason to keep working with outdated software that nobody uses.

 

Just to add to the discussion, though if one enrols for the CSS course this important information would be shared. There are actually three types of CSS: inline, internal and external. The trend these days is using external CSS. The use of a separate style sheet makes it more organized, less complicated and cleaner compared to inline or internal. So if you're in your first stages of learning CSS, never ever use inline or internal. External CSS all the way. As for me, I'm currently having a hard time trying to figure out how to make boxes and pictures float. They don't teach you stuff like that when you're a beginner.
