You’ve been a good sport learning about markup and structure and validation and proper syntax and nesting and compliance, but now you get to really start having some fun by styling your pages. But no worries, all those XHTML pushups you’ve been doing aren’t going to waste. In fact, you’re going to see that a solid understanding of XHTML is crucial to learning (and using) CSS. And, learning CSS is just what we’re going to do over the next several chapters.
Just to tease you a bit, on these two pages we’ve sprinkled a few of the designs you’re going to work with in the rest of the book. Quite a difference from the pages you’ve been creating so far, isn’t it? So, what do you need to do to create them? Learn the language of CSS of course.
