CSS and Templates.

There are many advantages in using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Because CSS allows separation of content from presentation, it gives easy access and flexibility for changing things such as fonts, colours and layout. It also has advantages in page formatting, by changing just one line you are able to use a different style sheet for the same page. CSS also allows site wide consistency, which means that, when used effectively, site-wide elements can be affected by using a global style sheet. This makes it simple, easy and inexpensive to make changes to elements.

Another major advantage is that because of the separation method used by CSS, it can improve content accessibility. Accessibility means that the content is made accessible to as many people as possible. This is great for people who have disabilities, such as the sight impaired, as the content is able to be changed to sound. Accessibility is worth considering when creating web page design, as the content is able to reach as many people as possible. It also give an advantage to those with disabilities as they are able to access more web pages and larger amounts of information which would otherwise only be available to those without disabilities. It also means you web page content, ideas, business, service, thoughts, reach as wide a community as possible.

Many things can be changed using templates. Colours, font, background, sizes. Templates also hold some limitations, you are limited to few colours, patterns, layouts and fonts. By making changes using CSS you can singularly changes things and have more options and flexibility.

Using CSS I was able to change the colour of various items on my blog. I changed the boarder colour as well as the side by and subheadings text colour. By making these changes I was able to learn and I can now use this in the future to make changes to my web pages.
