I can't stress it enough that you should learn CSS if you are even remotely serious about web design. It will save hours and hours of work. It allows you to have basic formating on all forms and if you ever want to change anything you simply change the CSS definition and all the pages will be edited at once. It's a very powerful tool.

Yes , CSS is a very essential tool for web designing, you cannot leave without it if you want to build professional loking sites

Well, you COULD leave it out and still look professional, but like the original post makes clear, you would make a huge amount of work for yourself. By using CSS, you just write your style once and reference it within the code of each page you publish. If you need or want to update the style of your site, you just go to your CSS and edit it there, and the changes are instantly applied across the website, not just on one page.

Without CSS you would have to edit each and every page, one at a time.

CSS is the backbone of site, if you are reallt making a professional site then always start with a CSS

Ok so what if you aren't making aren't making a professional site or I mean not making one. Then what is it that you use.

I want to say that if you have just 2-3 page site and dont want to increase in future then you can just add those css directly in the pages

Ok so if you are making a professional site then you would not add it directly to your page what would you do code it in?

if you are making a big site with large number of pages then its easier to put all the css in one single file and call it in every page rather then putting whole css in every file

Is there a table somewhere that explains the css codes/tags and what they do? Many times there is just too much extraneous explanation for someone who does down and dirty web design. Some people don't really want to learn the theroy and then get the coding going, they work more efficiently by simply doing.

Any suggestions?
