External Style Sheet
With an external style sheet, you can change the look of an entire Web site
by changing one file. Each page must link to the style sheet using the
<link> tag. Put the <link> tag inside the head section:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css" />
</head>
<body>
</body>
....your website html document...
</html>

CSS Syntax:
The CSS syntax is made up of three parts: a selector, a property and a value:
selector {property: value}
body {color: black}
p {text-align:center;color:red}
p
{
text-align: center;
color: black;
font-family: arial
}
|
Grouping
You can group selectors like this:
h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6
{
color: green
}
|
The class Selector
With the class selector you can define different styles for the same type of HTML element.
If you would like to have two types of paragraphs in your html-document.
One center-aligned paragraph and another right-aligned.
p.center {text-align: center}
p.right {text-align: right}
