page editing and CSS

I am pretty new to page editing - I have created a landing page for an affiliate product. What is the function of the CSS ? Do I need to switch it on or use it ? I have read in google that its the cascading order of the page but how do I use it ? Are there any benefits or loss if using or not using it?


Just need a lead here - I am using NVU as a page editor

CSS is a very good language to use it allows you to create a website template in a whole differen't level.

There are differen't ways to use CSS... for example

Attaching it to tags for example <table style="background: url(images/blah.gif) no-repeat;">

Attaching the stylesheet which allows you to attach it to all of you webpages which makes your site load much faster.

They are the main two ways they are just breif if you want me to expand just ask i will be happy to help.

 

I recommend you attach it to a style sheet. Its much easier to manage the css when your site gets very big.

 

Take a look at w3schools. They have a good tutorial that will give you a basic introduction to CSS.

Use w3c ... It's really helpful for you and you can try many online resources for css.
