Cascading Style Sheets - Learning CSS

As a reader of this blog, you will probably know that I recorded a video on HTML. I didn't write much about it because the video covered most of the important parts. I went over the structure of an HTML web page and outlined a few basic tags used when writing the language.

One viewer watched this video but felt that it did not offer sufficient information. They wanted to be able to format the web page using cascading style sheets (CSS). Via email, they asked me if I knew any CSS, and if I would be willing to share my knowledge with them.

Knowing very little about the language, I decided to try and make a video about CSS. I used a book, about JavaScript, that had a section on Style Sheets, and started to talk about it. Surprisingly, I managed to talk for 10 minutes, struggling to fit everything in.

I described two ways in which you can apply formatting to a web page using CSS. The first way is to use styles within the HTML tags and the second way is to use external style sheets.

I said in the video that I was going to post all of the properties I know off, in CSS, to my blog. However you are better off looking on the following website as you will find lots more, up-to-date, information:

If you would like a short introduction to CSS, or if you would just like to see how well I did in the video, you can watch it right here:
