22- Cascading Style Sheets

Even though i don't use them allot (Since i rely on FrontPage and i am quite lazy), They are indeed a great way to tidy up your pages for search engines, when the search engine bot comes to your website, all he will find is pages full and dense with content text, rather than tags for fonts, tags for text size etc... the bot will only find your text.

This is particularly important for pages with dynamic content like forums (the forum on this website uses CCS.

Removing the font tag is pretty space saving, by defining a CSS as follows,
<style type="text/css"> td {font-family:verdana; font-size:12pt;} </style>
This CSS will make sure that everything in a <td> will be at 12pt.

Ok so u have learned how to define the text size in a style sheet, this is not enough, i would advise you to schedule a time to learn them and then implement them into your website (that can easily be done by setting the CSS and then using the find/replace feature in your editor to replace redundant text with blanks !
