Week 7 – Templates and CSS

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a powerful tool for customising webpages. It obviously focuses on the style of the webpage, like the layout, fonts and colours. The benefits of CSS includes the customisation of websites, this allows people to change sites such as blogs to fit their own personality and requirements. If you customise a webpage properly you can adjust all the pages connected to it to have a consistent template. Another benefit is the accessibility it has especially for those that may be blind or hearing impaired. If web designers consider accessibility for their websites they are more likely to gain a wider audience.
When you change your template the information you have saved does not disappear like it once did. You can change the page around to your liking. There are certain restrictions for templates which don't allow you to customise certain areas.
This week we changed a few things on our blog to ease into editing webpages, i changed the colours within my template to more of a green theme since that is my favourite colour. Hopefully when we learn more the page will hardly resemble the original blogger template.
