Good article that explains why Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) should be used to allow learners to control the appearance of web pages. Even better, it provides an example of how it works. I wish they had included something of importance to me, scalable text (I am playing with this on the Edu_RSS Listings page). I would use more CSS with OLDaily except that the controls require Javascript, which is in turn rejected by many email clients because of security flaws in Outlook. Additionally, non-compliance by a certain browser also makes coding script for CSS more of an art than it should be. If you want to learn CSS and other design tricks, my advice is to find a site like Mandarin or Webreference that will show you something new every day.
