This rather interesting, fascinating, and constipating assignment sent me to the deep dark realm of the infamous CSS. As I enjoyed the wide variety of benefits involved in the Firefox Web Developer Tool bar (fabulous tool by the way) I began to realize that this web design jazz is not as simple as I thought it would be. In fact, CSS is downright SCARRRY! I surfed to the most loved and loathed MySpace site and hesitantly applied the View CSS option. AAAARRGGH! A list the size of the Bible appeared before me featuring headers, footer, fonts, background colors, tables, links, images, what have you. I applied the Print Preview option to receive a mediocre copy of MySpace’s page in print friendly view. I have a great respect for those geniuses who are able to apply these CSS Rules with their hands tied behind their backs. Curiously, I decided to escape the clutches of MySpace and move on the Hasbro’s My Little Pony website. I had no idea those lil ponies involved soooooo many CSS rules! Background styles, image styles, colors….. oooh the colors, links, borders, headers, margins, columns, and widgets? Excited to put a picture of this site on my wall, I applied the Print Preview option. My Little Pony’s print preview was not that bad. It did look very different from the website and the images were still available in their overly-colored glory. I have a very long road to travel before I can add up to those My Little Ponies, yet we have to start somewhere.
