  5. 17 (Alice)- Cascading Style Sheets. They provide a way to make the HTML of websites purely structural, rather than filled with a bunch of padding and presentational stuff that makes it difficult to wade through. CSS handles the style of the page, and HTML the stuff it says.

    That explanation was rather crap, but I’m no expert.

  11. 49- You put a slash before the word. No, that doesn’t make sense. pretend these [ ] are the greater and lesser signs. If you want to close your italics or whatever, you say:

    [i]whatever you want to say [/i]

    Like that. I hope it helps.

    1. A new thread.
    2. The secret to colored names. :D
