i see so many people not applying a style sheet to there websites its annoying really i was helping a member of my network we are working on his site his layout was coded all wrong it was sad really i had to go in and recode the whole thing and he was not even using a stylesheet all his image had that border="0" crap i ended up just deleted everything and recoding it from the start cause i was sick of removing lines of code like font color= and background = 000000 and all this extra crap

my point is not enough people know how to use css im not a master at it but i sure as hell will never code a website without using a stylesheet for all those who dont use css let me enlighten you on the great things you can do with css

you can put 1 line of code in a css style sheet and it will take all them image borders off every image on your site yes i said 1 line of code you dont have to go to each img and do the border 0 crap it saves time oh wait there is more you can take them submit buttons you use on contact froms email login etc do you know you can make them match your sites layout omg yes with css my friends you can do this you can even change the color of your scroll bar oh and least we forget you can add affects to your links underline no underline make em any color hell i dont even know where it ends

a page with css its a piece of garbage aleast i believe so (expect google i dont think they use css but i only use them for advertising cash and searching so i dont care what the site looks like) anyone learn css so i dont have to look at anymore lame pages and i wont ever have to get these im's asking me for help only to open there webpage file and see its coded all wrong and not using css

infact while your at it learn how to apply css to html i notice alot of people who use css dont know how to do the font using css i see alot of this <font color size style> but if you use css you can do this <span class=""></span> much easier if you ask me

anyway i got bored and typed this but now im thristy so time to hit submit

Not enough people use punctuation either.

kidding :P

But yes, I'm trying to get myself to use CSS a lot more lately. As people have told me, use of this aids you in the development of php related things...makes them easier.

I think punctuation would make this easier to follow, but meh.

This does not apply to me, for one. I've been coding with CSS for years now. I'm also going to be creating some tutorials for http://www.ftptalk.com, to enlighten more people on how to be able to do this. I agree with you how useful CSS is, and required, if you choose to have websites that validate properly to w3 standards.

seems that some people have the same attitude when creating their CSS....

David

that's what i was thinking

It's all about what matters. I code for presentation, content, as well as markup, and end up using CSS for syling up everything (I even have the O'Reilly CSS book, with descendent and child selectors, even the before and after pseudo classes the whole bit). That matters to me, and as a web designer, I appreciate good use of stylesheets (Zen garden?). I also like my sentences to be coherent and make sense, and I even think aloud while writing them to get a sense to how they sound in speech (who else does this?). So obviously my CSS, as well as my posts and entries are readable.

What I complain about more is not the lack of a stylesheet (use inline styles if you must), but the ofuscation of code like not using line breaks so everything is in paragraph form, but with no paragraphs. It's not like there aren't any tools to de-ofuscate the code, and it makes it harder to read your own code. I guess what I'm trying to say is to each designer, his own.
