CSS for Professional Writers: Introduction

Part II: Cascading Style Sheets

Intro Poster

We use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to tell an Internet Browser how to style and display the contents of a Webpage.

We also use CSS to build a consistent page layout for our Website's and prepare our Website's to be viewed on mobile technologies.

Without CSS, our Website's would be nothing more than black text on a white background.
