Introducing CSS

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is used in conjunction with HTML to create easier to edit webpages.  It makes it easy to create global definitions for doing many things, such as text size, colour and font just by changing a class.

Tim Berners-Lee is a co-creator for W3C (World Wide Web Consortium)  He also wrote the first browser, set up the first web server and created the standards for HTTP and HTML.

The W3C created standards for CSS.  By creating standards they got rid of the issues of privatization instead they let others create software that would conform to their specifications.  Fortunately for them, almost all web browsers support CSS and many HTML/Webpage editors also support it.
