Hello Michael,

CSS can be used three ways:

Inline styles, via the 'style' attribute
    <span style="background: yellow">

Embedded style sheet, using the STYLE element (in HEAD)
    <style type="text/css">
    span {background: yellow}
    </style>

External style sheet, using LINK (the most useful method)
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">


Using an external style sheet, you benefit the most from the power
of style sheets by being able to use the same style sheet for
multiple web pages. This greatly reduces the file size of the web
pages, and allows you to easily modify the style of all the pages.
