WHAT IS CSS??


CSS is a language that means "Cascading Style Sheets. Like HTML, cascading style sheets are used to change things such as font face, size, font in tables, scrollbar color, link color and hover color, etc., on Web sites but without having to use long HTML codes, in most cases. However, the problem with CSS is that while some of the CSS properties are supported by both Netscape and IE, some are just supported by IE and some are just supported by Netscape.

Below are some basic CSS/Text codes for you to use to make changes to your user lookup. We have tried to make this as easy and comprehensive as possible but if you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact the webmisstress.
