Dear Mr. Tutorial Person:

[johnpalmer]

Thank you very much for your tutorial on Cascading Style Sheets. I think that the work of volunteers like yourself are what makes the world wide web so wonderful.

However, could I point out that if you say that you put CSS rules between "style" tags, you should *also* point out that you *only* do this *IF* you are including them within the web page itself, and that you *do not* want style tags in your .css file!

Razzafrazzin' twenty minutes trying to figure out something stupid....

(No, honestly, I *know* it's not the author's fault. But, I'm trying to learn web page design and Unix, and both suffer from the same fundamental problem. It's hard to find information that's neither babytalk nor over my head.)

You could send me some CSSes, but I don't know if I'll need them or not. If you have one that is commented (so I know what each command is doing), that'll help, but right now I'm going through your CSS links, and learning some of the basics on my own, and I'm afraid that anything complex will just induce information overload right now. Maybe in a little bit, once I have more of the basics down.
