CSS - a new type of code

http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/011/firstcss

please do not just copy and paste, but add your own info/ideas/aesthetics etc.

be sure to pay attention to which code you are to be adding, css or html... pay close attention when the tutorial has you copy and paste your CSS into a NEW DOCUMENT and then refer to it in your html document, this steps catches a lot of students off guard. make sure you read through the entire tutorial following each step, in sequence. 

You will end up with a pair of documents, both created in text edit.  One will be a .html page and the other will be a .css file.  The css file contains your "style" which is applied to the content of your html pages.
