CSS (cascading style sheet) is a method of producing and altering web pages quickly and easily. It mainly focuses on those pages written in HTML and XHTML. It allows the user to change the overall layout of a web page without altering the actual content. This is done by keeping the document content and document structure separate.
The accessability of a web page refers to how easily the content may be viewed by as many people as possible. It is a question of how can a person navigate a site easily or how functional is the site. This is vital to ganing attention of user and maintaining there interest. If a page is difficult to navigate or find information required then as a user i would switch immediately to another site.
Some aspects of the web page layout can be changed using templates. New gadgets may be added such as pictures, film or advertisements. By using templates developed by other people simple changes may be made in the layout of a page.
Templates do not allow the change of any content displayed on the web page. Major changes such as font, font size or colours may only be changed to individual specification through HTML edits. Some aspects of the actual layout are limited when using CSS, for example highly graphical backgrounds, lack of variables to be able to "change all" or structure is limited to rectangular shapes.
I have added some gadgets to my page via template changes. These include slide show, ad sense and a photography gadget. There were approximately 100K possible gadgets that could have been added to the blog dependant on personal interest. I also added a photo as a background to my heading and a description of the blog content.
Using CSS i made some colour changes to main background, Blog title and description and link hover. I also edited over all size and colour of the header and header description font.
