Getting Started
The set of codes used to make a layout is called the stylesheet. I'll use that word a lot in this set of tutorials. Know it, love it, whatever. :)All stylesheets need to start and end with style tags. This applies to websites, myspace, xanga, etc. The rest of the code needs to be in between these two tags or else it will not work.
You can also write the first one without the "type=text/css" part, or you can replace the word "css" with "javascript." You most likely won't be dealing with javascript for now, so don't worry too much about that part.
The different sections of the code are typically set up like this:
section {
property: xxx;
property: xxx; }
The word "section" will be replaced with the title of whatever section you're modifying, and the properties under it would be changed to the separate parts such as the font, color, etc. Note that you need a { after the section title and a } after the details. You also need a semicolon (;) after every properties. You're going to need to know this little formula so keep this page in a different window while you're going through the other tutorials, write it down, memorize it, or do whatever you have to do.
Now that you know the very basics, you can move on to learning how to apply them. Excited? :P
