Added for You - What You Need to Know About CSS!
Questions are the tools of the trade for life coaches. We revel in our clients saying to us, “That’s a really good question!” A statement usually evoked by a simple, yet profound question such as, “What do you want?”When someone asks a question, others are compelled to answer it. At the same time, questions stimulate thinking in both the person asking the question and the person answering the question.According to Dorothy Leeds, author of The 7 Powers of Questions: Secrets to Successful Communication in Life and at Work, questions are the most overlooked tool in the art of persuasion. She suggests that questions get people to open up and lead to quality listening.Ms. Leeds believes that questions put the questioner in control – one of the seven powers of questions she proposes. She asserts that we don’t ask enough questions because we are often afraid to question authority. Yet our need to ask questions is often greatest at times when we feel most vulnerable – when we are in the pre
For example, the HTML element h2 specifies that the text contained within it is a level two heading. It has a lower level of importance than h1 headings, but a higher level of importance than h3 headings. This aspect of the h2 element is structural .
Customarily, headings are rendered in decreasing order of size, with h1 as the largest, because larger headings are usually interpreted to have greater importance than smaller ones. Headings are also typically rendered in a bold font in order to give them additional emphasis. The h2 element may be rendered in bold face, and in a font larger than h3 but smaller than h1 . This aspect of the h2 element is presentational .
Prior to CSS, document authors who wanted to assign a specific color, font, size, or other characteristic to all h2 headings had to use the HTML font element for eac
If you enjoy explaining how something is done step by step, you may just have an saleable article or book idea. How-to articles and books are favorites at many magazine and book publishers. And the range of topics is practically endless. Think about it for a minute. Almost anything that you have had some experience in doing has potential. For example, can you explain how to install a hardwood floor, make paper toys, choose good doctors, invest money, buy businesses, or start a relationship? Of course, a subject such as how to make those sit-ups more effective might be a great magazine article. On the other hand, a subject such as how to make wooden toys might be effective as a book.Okay, let's say that you're interested in writing a how-to. Choose something that not only interests you, but something that you would enjoy explaining to others. Perhaps it is something that a lot of people ask about. Since you've done that many times, you are in an excellent position to explain that to a wider audience of
Let's understand CSS in the right perspective.
Style sheets in retrospect
Style sheets have been around in one form or another since the beginnings of HTML in the early 1990s .
As the HTML language grew, however, it came to encompass a wider variety of stylistic capabilities to meet the demands of web developers . With such capabilities, style sheets became less important, and an external language for the purposes of defining style attributes was not widely accepted until the development of CSS.
Teething problems with implementation of CSS
Many implementations of CSS are fraught with inconsistencies, bugs and other quirks . Authors have commonly had to use hacks and workarounds in order to obtain consistent results across web browsers and platforms .
One of the most well-known CSS bugs is the Internet Explorer box model bug; box widths are interpreted incorrectly in several versions of the browser, resulting in blocks which appear as expected in most browsers, but are too narrow when viewed in Internet Explorer. The bug can be avoided, but not without some cost in terms of functionality.
This is just one of hundreds of CSS bugs that have been documented in various versions of Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, and Opera many of which reduce the legibility of documents. The proliferation of such bugs in CSS implementations has made it difficult for designers to achieve a consistent appearance across platforms.
Currently there is strong competition between Mozilla's Gecko layout engine, Opera's Presto layout engine , and the KHTML engine used in both Apple's Safari and the Linux Konqueror browsers - each of them is leading in different aspects of CSS. Internet Explorer remains the worst at rendering CSS by standards set down by World Wide Web Consortium as of 2005 .
Some breakthroughs …
These problems have preisely led the W3C to revise the CSS2 standard into CSS2.1, which may be regarded as something of a working snapshot of current CSS support. CSS2 properties which no browser had successfully implemented were dropped, and in a few cases, defined behaviours were changed to bring the standard into line with the predominant existing implementations..

A style sheet is made up of style rules that tell a browser how to present a document. There are various ways of linking these style rules to your HTML documents, but the simplest method for starting out is to use HTML's STYLE element. This element is placed in the document HEAD, and it contains the style rules for the page.
Functionality and Usage of CSS
CSS is well-designed to allow the separation of presentation and structure. Prior to CSS, nearly all of the presentational attributes of an HTML document were contained within the HTML code; all font colors, background styles, element alignments, borders and sizes had to be explicitly described, often repeatedly, in the midst of the HTML code.
CSS allows authors to move much of that information to a stylesheet, resulting in considerably simpler HTML code. The HTML documents become much smaller and web browsers will usually cache sites' CSS stylesheets. This leads to a reduction in network traffic and noticeably quicker page downloads.

I can’t afford to retire; I need additional income to support my wife and I in the lifestyle we are accustomed to. Our pensions and savings just don’t do the trick.Sound familiar? Too many people in their fifties and sixties plus are discovering that they need to find a way to supplement their retirement incomes.They don’t want to continue to work in the jobs they have held all their lives. They want to be on their own working from home in their own business.They want more leisure time, more income, and more respect. The good news is they are entitled to it and there are opportunities out there that they can take advantage of with minimal investments of their time and money.The best news is that today people in their fifties and sixties are no longer really considered Seniors. They are part of the new middle class group consisting mostly of Baby Boomers who have taken care of themselves and have the energy, spirit, and attitude to start over and make a new beginning with a new work

Fruit trees provide a useful email marketing analogy. Like fruit trees, different types of customers need to be cultivated in different ways if they are to bear fruit. The problem is that when it comes to email marketing, most companies treat all their customers the same...providing the same nutrients to all of their fruit trees instead of taking time to understand that what makes an apple tree bear fruit may cause a cherry tree to produce a miserable crop. When you use email marketing properly, you spend your efforts providing each different type of tree with personalized care so each one produces an abundance of juicy fruit.So before you go ahead and develop that new email campaign, here's a short primer on what you can do to motivate the people on your list to click and buy.Talk to the right group of people.Many retailers and marketers make a fundamental (and costly) error when they create an email marketing campaign: they don't know their own customers. I know this may sound obvious,

There are many traits and attitudes required for enduring and satisfying sales success. Ultimately your personal definition of success will become the primary factor determining whether you have achieved success or not.There are five factors to consider when defining your success.1) Set the bar or your requirements or measurements for success too low and although you may achieve your objectives and exceed your definition the question remains – could you have achieved more if you had just raised the bar a little higher?2) Set the bar or the requirements or standards too high and you may live a life of frustration and disappointment because you never seem to be able to achieve your objectives or satisfy your requirements.3) Success is not about other people’s definition of success for you. If others choose to use financial status, position or fame as their benchmarks they have no right to imply that unless you reach these same benchmarks that you are not successful.4) Everyo

Moreover, CSS can be used with XML, to allow such structured documents to be rendered with full stylistic control over layout, typography, color, and so forth in any suitable user agent or web browser.
CSS has its share of inconsistencies as well
CSS may at times be misused, particularly by the author of web documents. Some developers who are accustomed to designing documents strictly in HTML may overlook or ignore the enabling features of CSS. For instance, a document author who is comfortable with HTML markup that mixes presentation with structure may opt to use strictly embedded CSS styles in all documents. While this may be an improvement over using deprecated HTML presentational markup, it suffers from some of the same problems that mixed-markup HTML does; specifically, it entails a similar amount of document maintenance.
Discrepancies compared: CSS vs programming languages
CSS also shares some pitfalls common with programming languages. In particular, the problem of choosing appropriate names for CSS classes and identifiers may afflict CSS authors. In the attempt to choose descriptive names for CSS classes, authors might associate the class name with desired presentational attributes; for example, a CSS class to be applied to emphasized text might be named "bigred," implying that it is rendered in a large red font.
While such a choice of naming may be intuitive to the document author, it can cause problems if the author later decides that the emphasized text should instead be green; the author is left with a CSS class called "bigred" that describes something that is green. In this instance, a more appropriate class name might have been "emphasized," to better describe the purpose or intent of the class, rather than the appearance of elements of that class.
In a programming language, such a misuse might be analogous to using a variable name "five" for a variable which contains the value 5; however, if the value of the variable changes to 7, the name is no longer appropriate.
CSS in a nutshell
CSS is used by both the authors and readers of web pages to define colors, fonts, layout and other aspects of document presentation. It is designed primarily to enable the separation of document structure (written in HTML or a similar markup language) from document presentation (written in CSS).
This separation provides a number of benefits, including improved content accessibility, greater flexibility and control in the specification of presentational characteristics, and reduced complexity of the structural content. CSS is also capable of controlling the document's style separately in alternative rendering methods, such as on-screen in print, by voice (when read out by a speech-based browser or screen reader) and on braille-based, tactile devices.
CSS allows complete and total control over the style of a hypertext document. The only way this can be illustrated in a way that gets people excited is by demonstrating what it can truly be, once the reins are placed in the hands of those able to create beauty from structure.
