Why use CSS?
Alternate Layouts
Media-specific Styles
Standards and Validation
Browser Issues
To be honest, I had kind of turned my brain off by the last session – my head was starting to hurt!!
However, all in all it was a very useful day, I wasn’t as confused as I expected to be, a lot of it was actually rather interesting, the practical tasks were kind of fun and I was rather impressed by what could be achieved with CSS.

A fun day out… hmmm
Well I am currently on a CSS course at Nottingham University.
It’s actually not as tricky as I thought it would be given my knowledge of html is very basic.
So far we have learnt…
The Basics
Internal Style Sheets
External Style Sheets
CSS for Colours and Fonts
< div > and < span > tags
Using Classes
Using ID
The Box Model
Margins
Width and Centering
Borders
Padding
More stuff about Boxes…
And now we are about to have lunch… phew!
Gah – maybe it is tricker than I thought… just writing what we have done here started to affect my formatting!
You can’t go throwing < div > and < span > tags around!
