Here are some answers to questions you might have about why and how we are using them for the Association for Information Systems web site.
Style sheets provide a common look and feel throughout a site.
With a single change in a style sheet one can change the font colors for particular size headers or text, select the type fonts, set the top, bottom, left and right margings, or provide a new image to replace bulleted list items. Note also that the paragraph's are slightly indented. Here we also set the colors of the various links. Not unless you have a multiple page site and want to use your own styles, perhaps in addition to the AIS banner at the top. It helps to be able to read our style sheet so you know, for instance, that a size 3 header is a different color than a size 4.
