Refining the Look of Your WordPress Site: Learning CSS

WordPress can be used as a blogging engine or a content management system to set up complex and powerful websites without having to fuss about what happens under the hood. But when working with WordPress sites, there inevitably comes a time when you will want things to look and act differently than they do out-of-the-box. This workshop will introduce you to simple but powerful tools that you can use to tweak your site short of having to host your own server or write your own theme files. You will learn about cascading style sheets (CSS), a powerful W3 standard that allows you to define your own styles, and ways to integrate custom CSS on an existing WordPress site.
