HowTo:Learn CSS the easiest way

People who want to design or customize their own themes CAN’T skip this article!I`ll talk in this post about CSS and link to the references that helped me to understand “the concepts” of CSS in few days.
First of all..
What is CSS?

well, I cant find a better words than this:

• CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets
• Styles define how to display HTML elements
• Styles are normally stored in Style Sheets
• Styles were added to HTML 4.0 to solve a problem
• External Style Sheets can save you a lot of work
• External Style Sheets are stored in CSS files
• Multiple style definitions will cascade into one

Suppose that your site has a logo, How should it know where to sit?!
By a small code in your sheet with info about the proper place, it will sit there!
so in two words..CSS can be a “ROAD MAP” guiding your images and elements where to sit.
Managing the fonts, links, measures of the pages..etc

The Best reference I found is W3Schools. They do a great work publishing all kind of information about Web Designing Languages for FREE!
There you`ll learn almost everything about CSS. To start learning CSS Click here.
