 * Umm… I’m 12, honestly. I’ve been blogging for almost two years now. I own a blog
   with 70,000 hits. I pretty much get everything, and how to get a person’s site
   publicity. But the last thing I don’t understand is CSS. When I search up what
   that means it gives me so many words. Can someone please explain to me what it
   is (at least in a minor amount of paragraphs)?

 * CSS stands for cascading style sheets. Basically — HTML, PHP, ASP and whatever
   else files might be used are what make up a site. CSS puts everything together
   and makes it pretty. You can do just about everything with CSS from color choices
   to aligning. Google “beginning CSS” and you’ll find lots of tutorials to help
   you get started 🙂

 * Millionare,
    CSS is basically a codified language that individuals can use to
   state rules that determine the style, dimensions, color, placement and other 
   characteristics in which selected elements for a web page will be displayed. 
   These rules must be written in accord with an exact order of syntax and the selection
   of the right characters, numbers, and symbols in order for them to function. 
   If placed in an external Style Sheet such rules can control the display of selected
   elements throughout an entire website of numerous pages. The use of these codes
   simplifies the design of websites and web pages and enables webmasters and other
   web authors to separate their design styles from the content that they write 
   or publish. The placement of such rules determines what elements they control,
   and this placement can be made in a cascading level on web pages. This is from
   an external sheet to a rule that is embedded in the head section of a file to
   a rule that is place inline in the body of a file. It may take you awhile to 
   learn this language, but it certainly makes publishing pages on the internet 
   much easier and more attractive than trying to do this without such rules. All
   of the tutorials and books regarding CSS can help you to understand the language
   and how to use its particular characters, but you’ll learn more by just starting
   to use CSS in your blog or other web publications. Good luck with it!
