No Border Rule

I have seen a LOT of people purporting that they know how to create websites with CSS. But, when I see style rules such as: img{border:none;}, I wonder where they learned CSS.

My very first website was green, red and white. I had hyperlinks on the pages that were the “default” bright blue. Being an aesthetic kind of person, that bright blue color looked gawd-awful. While I was surfing around the Internet I found some pages that had links on them, but, guess what? They were NOT bright blue. I had to find out how they did that.

I “viewed the source” and discovered some weird “style” stuff in the <head> of the web page. So, Continue Reading »
