The worst way to create well-designed web pages is to use a WYSIWYG Editor. They may look like they’re doing the job, but what is happening is the code created by these monstrosities is almost unreadable and un-editable.
By creating NEAT organized Styles in a stylesheet, you have effectively removed about 75% of the junk out of your webpage. JUNK that will drive you nuts.
Some webmasters who create CSS Stylesheets, copy and paste code from a bunch of different websites because they don’t know how to create their own style rules. The result is a mish-mash of messy hard to read style rules.
There are 3 steps to good web page organization:
- Neat easy to read style rules
- Table-less design in the <body> of the page
- Lots of white space between blocks of code – ie: paragraphs, lists, blockquotes etc.
Keep it NEAT until next we MEET!
