CSS? Most people find out about CSS * cascading style sheets* originally when they ventured looking for colored scrollbars.  CSS can be used to control every aspect of a page.  * These snippets work for IE 5.5 and up ~ Netscape doesn't see it.. so make sure to test. Most find what they need and that is enough, but did you know you can also use CSS to.....

Change background when you mouse over links ~ change color name to red, blue, white whatever, or use the color number

Change Image Background when you mouse over links ~ black is text color, peach is default background color while image loads, image url is where pic. Edit as you need to customize for your site.

Make LINKS change  to UPPER cases when moused over

Border around your linked text ~ purple can be any color, format can be dotted, dashed, ridged, solid, and 2px is the size. Try 4px, 3 px, 5 px. see what looks best for your site.

Make text glow  ~ use color name or number to change #3D86A9 and set strength to 1, 2, 3.... play, test....strength ~ This can slow page loads, and can be annoying if over used.

Make picture edges glow ~ again.... use color name or number to change #3D86A9 and set strength to 1, 2, 3.... play, test....strength ~ This can slow page loads, and can be annoying if over used.

Fade images to look transparent ~ set Opacity to any number between 0 and 100..... 

This is just a TASTE of what you can do with CSS tips and code. If you use more than one set of code on a page, you can use only one <style type="text/css">  enter all your selections, then one </style>.  Copy the code and drop the code before your </head tag and you are good to go!
