Here is a Comprehensive CSS Guide and Tutorial, located at wsabstract.com, that will teach and show you, from the ground up, how to code and use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) in your web pages and sites. The introduction page of this CSS tutorial says this about what CSS is and how it can benefit your web site: "Style is what gives an item its distinctive look or feel. For text it could be what font is used, what color, size, or spacing. It also applies to other HTML objects such as links, images, backgrounds, margins and borders. Some of the benefits to using CSS are more consistency, better layout and visual design, plus easier HTML coding. Also you can do things with style sheets that could never be done before."
