Blossoms Cascade

Welcome to my new venture, Cascading Style Sheets

Playing with Internet pages has been an interest of mine for about as long as the Internet has existed.  My interest has not been the burning interest of some but, I have continued to learn in this strange and huge arena of computing.  I have played with html becoming fair at its execution, utilizing it within the guts of emails to pages I have built to blogs I write.  Cascading Style Sheets (.css) are a mystery at this time but,  "I enjoy learning".  My only regret, I didn't discover much sooner the truth in my statement.  I hope to conquer at least, the basics of .css going on to use .css in some of my pages.

.CSS has progressed from CSS1 to CSS2 and on into CSS3.

Definition: .CSS, four types;

1- .CSS Embedded ... the .CSS codes are within the head of the page.  It's directional is for that page only. The power lies in the fact it dictates throughout the page a predetermined look for particular instances on the page.

2- .CSS Link ... a .css file is uploaded to the site and the link to it is entered into the head of pages within the site that refer to it for its use.  This script can be referred to by a few, or all pages within the site.   The power of a linked .css file  lies in the fact that changes in the .css file are immediate to all pages on the site that link to the file.

3- .CSS Imported ... the style sheet used for the page directional comes from another site. The power lies in the use of a stylized css file for use by relative sites but imported .css is not recognized by all browsers.

4- .CSS Inline ... the CSS script is entered into any spot in the body html.  It's use is for that page only.  It's power lies in the ability to over-ride embedded or linked style sheet for the specific area of the page.
