Web Design Tutorial

I was recently asked about CSS on the killersites web design forum and liking what I wrote, I decided to use the post to begin this article.

For example:
In 'old school' HTML, you would use the tag like so:
This works fine, except that now, if you wanted to change all your text that you initially made bold to underlined, you would have to go to every spot in your page(s) and change the tag to the 'underline' tag.

Another disadvantage of 'old school' HTML:
Let's say you wanted to make some text bold, change its font style Verdana and change its color to red - you would need a lot of code wrapped around the text:
This is text

This is verbose (too long) and contributes to making your HTML messy. With CSS, you can create a custom style elsewhere (thus separating the styling information from your HTML,) give it a unique name, and then ?tag? your HTML to apply the style properties.
