. and # are ATTRIBUTE selectors. CLASS attribute uses the period. The # is
for the ID  attribute selector.  Conversly TYPE selectors are CSS  elements
for standard markup like H1 or BODY.

CLASS and ID work similar to TYPE element except they are intended for
controlling parts of a page requiring more specific control. CLASS and ID
work the same except that an ID is unique to that element on the page.
CLASS can be used several times with different elements.

If you have products price in 12px bold in the color gold, you can only use
this element once on the page if it is an ID.  If it is a CLASS you can use
it as many times as you need it in the page.
