Today’s post features the first in a series of Cascading Style Sheet(CSS) videos covering some attributes of the body tag. The purpose of these videos will be to highlight basic CSS concepts that will assist bloggers in manipulating their sites. These tutorials will be rapid fire in that I will cover information with the reader in the same manner as I would if you were sitting in front of me. Rather than creating polished presentations, these are the raw, no frills facts that you can use. My goal is to help demystify CSS so that you are empowered to make changes to your site with confidence towards creating a blog that is more personal and/or professional.
CSS Body Tag Video Tutorial
Let me know if you appreciate these tutorials and if I’m on the right track. I’m doing this for your edification, so I want these tutorials to really help you learn and apply the concepts efficiently and effectively to your site. Also, please let me know if you need more clarification and what aspects of CSS manipulation you would like to learn more about.

Hi Phil,
That’s a great tutorial. Love it. Looking forward for more especially how to create those tabs on the top of the blog using CSS.
Thank you so much for this tutorial.
Best Wishes

Sam, Thanks much Sam. I plan on mixing some of the very basics with some tweaks and examples that will range into the more intermediate to advanced, if you can categorize it as such. Once you get into styles it is pretty straightforward in many respects. The biggest issue comes with browser compatibility and using CSS with Javascript for dynamic functionality, but that’s probably beyond where I’ll go at least for a while.
That was great Phil! Nice short clip, you get right down to it, excellent!
That line height was a great bit, I didn’t know about that. Man, I really need to play with CSS.
Thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks Mike,
Yeah, I plan on cranking-out a good series of meaty, short videos. I don’t over script it so that I focus on turning-out the material as apposed to some polished presentation. Fun stuff ahead.
Great! I look forward to the next installment.
Thanks Mike. I appreciate your enthusiasm and interest.
Hey Phil…
This is fabulous! I’m learning so much!
Thank you a ton!
Another thing I would love for you to explain is the creative license thing… how do we get that? Do we need it? Etc…
OK, so I’m not a techie! LOL!
Thanks a bunch Phil…
