Things to remember:

• Find style sheet recommendations at www.w3.org/Style/CSS/.
• Inline style specifications override the style sheet.
• Style sheet "rules" are created in the CSS Styles panel.
• Rules can also be created in page properties.
• Each rule consists of a selector (like "h1"), a property (like "font"), and a value (like "Times New Roman").
• The selector + property + value is called a "declaration."
• You can have a series of declarations but they must be separated by semi-colons.
• The property and value are enclosed by squiggley brackets.
• Before starting make sure that the box beside "Use CSS instead of HTML tags" is checked in your preferences.
• Style sheets must be saved in the file with your site and have the extension ".css".
