Review: Using CSS and SEO update

The External Style Sheet

An external style sheet is a text file that must have the extension .css

eg) "mystylesheet.css"

The HTML page using the style sheet must link to the style sheet with a link written

between <head>and </head>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystylesheet.css" />

where href is the path to the style sheet. So, if you put the style sheet in the folder css

the path is href="css/mystylesheet.css" 

 

The Embedded Style Sheet

CSS can also be embedded on the same page as the html
The styles must be between <head> and </head> 
and between
<style type= "txt/css" >
</style>

In-line styles

CSS can also be written "in-line" in between the <body> and </body>

<div style=" width:960px; height:100px; background-color:silver;">

CSS Priority ---The Order of Interpretation

#1 Priority is the Browser's default value... 
#2 The External Style sheet
#3 The embedded Style Sheet
#4 The in-line styles

Remember, you can style ANY html element

selector {property: value;}

Where:

The selector is:
*, Universal, applies to all elements
Any element
A class
An ID
An html5 semantic
