CSS or Cascading Style Sheets determine HOW our page elements are displayed on a browser. The reason they are called cascading is that the properties that are MOST specific will be applied last. There are many different tags and many different properties, but the basic thing that you must know is that the properties are applied according to specificity. In other words, the more tag elements you have in a selector (main text #second paragraph p) then those are the rules that will determine display.

CSS allows a web designer to keep all their styles on ONE file so that they can make adjustments to the way multiple pages are displyed by adjusting way fewer lines of code.

Mess around with the different properties and selctors to determine your own style

Wow! Totally awesome! I learned something new and useful tonight, the end of a rather long and otherwise "meh" day One term that didn't get mentioned was RSS which I have seen on occasional WP theme template options. So that might be good to add on if you make an update :)

Thanks!

Thank you for breaking that down! I've been researching endlessly, and although I did find a helpful site, I still didn't quite know what each of those were in layman's terms, particularly PHP and MySQL.
