But what exactly is CSS and how do you use it?  You needn't head off to Amazon or your local bookstore to drop $50 on a massive tome that will give you back problems. There's a very structured logic behind CSS and you can learn some of the basics in just a matter of minutes. While the scope of this guide will not give you magical powers over the layouts of your pages and allow you to make the most intricate and complex pages available today, it will certainly get you on your way.
