My Thoughts on CSS

CSS are a fundamentally a good way of changing the design layout, its a little complicated to understand and find were you want to change, say a certain colour, but overall its an interesting way to keep organized. it also helps with people that have vision impairments, say someone needs bigger typeface to see so using CSS you can change the size of the type to whatever size you need it to. An example of CSS is in fire fox, opening blooger you can view what the page would look like without the CSS coding, it comes up maily as text, blogger has used CSS as away to build up the design layout around the text. CSS does have flaws in its glory, one is Inconsistent browser support, some browsers somtimes veiw CSS differently to others or not at all (generally older versions of internet explorer). though its awesome and useful few people recomend it for design layout, but for more styling eg. type.


(ps i changed the layout etc with a pre existing template found at http://btemplates.com/

Direct Quote from wikipedia:

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used to describe the presentation (that is, the look and formatting) of a document written in a markup language. Its most common application is to styleweb pages written in HTML and XHTML, but the language can be applied to any kind of XML document, including SVG and XUL.

CSS is designed primarily to enable the separation of document content (written in HTML or a similar markup language) from document presentation, including elements such as the colors, fonts, and layout. This separation can improve content accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the specification of presentation characteristics, enable multiple pages to share formatting, and reduce complexity and repetition in the structural content (such as by allowing for tableless web design). CSS can also allow the same markup page to be presented in different styles for different rendering methods, such as on-screen, in print, by voice (when read out by a speech-based browser or screen reader) and on Braille-based, tactile devices. While the author of a document typically links that document to a CSS stylesheet, readers can use a different stylesheet, perhaps one on their own computer, to override the one the author has specified.

Accessibility is a general term used to describe the degree to which a product (e.g., device, service, environment) is accessible by as many people as possible. Accessibility can be viewed as the "ability to access" the functionality, and possible benefit, of some system or entity. Accessibility is often used to focus on people with disabilities and their right of access to entities, often through use of assistive technology. Several definitions of accessibility refer directly to access-based individual rights laws and regulations. Products or services designed to meet these regulations are often termed Easy Access or Accessible.
