CSS:
H1/HNo.= a format for your website.
li= the format for your lists.
p= the format for pharagraphs
/* Oliver nugent*/= seperates the text inside the /* */ so it doesn't think that the text is a command

What You Should Know:

Before you continue you should have a basic understanding of the following:

HTML / XHTML

What is CSS?

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets
Styles define how to display HTML elements
Styles were added to HTML 4.0 to solve a problem
External Style Sheets can save a lot of work
External Style Sheets are stored in CSS files

DEMO
An HTML document can be displayed with different styles: example

Styles Solved a Big Problem

HTML was never intended to contain tags for formatting a document.
HTML was intended to define the content of a document, like:
<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
When tags like <font>, and color attributes were added to the HTML 3.2 specification, it started a nightmare for web developers. Development of large web sites, where fonts and color information were added to every single page, became a long and expensive process.
To solve this problem, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) created CSS.
In HTML 4.0, all formatting could be removed from the HTML document, and stored in a separate CSS file.
All browsers support CSS today.

CSS Saves a Lot of Work!

CSS defines HOW HTML elements are to be displayed.
Styles are normally saved in external .css files. External style sheets enable you to change the appearance and layout of all the pages in a Web site, just by editing one single file!

Computer PRIVACY

TELLING THE WORLD (OPENNESS is GREAT!?!?)

Facebook has taught us to tell the world everything.

Facebook tricks people into giving away private info (Statuses, by rewarding them in a game like fashion with attention (Responses).

School net Security systems contradict their own existence by selling info to companies and even the middle east

Though Blocking and monitor may help in some cases most of the time it just teaches young people to expect to be monitored.

FEEDBACK

Must be as close to the attempt as possible. You want to do better immediately. Games are popular because of the instant result.
