CSS Zen Garden

One of (if not the) best examples of the power of CSS (cascading style sheets) is the CSS Zen Garden.  If you take some time and look through the submitted designs, you'll see the incredible variety that can be applied to a website (theoretically of any number of pages) simply by changing one single file - the stylesheet.

At their most basic, CSS stylesheets allow you to apply global changes to all of the fonts used on your site. e.g., if you decide that having your paragraph text size is one point too high, you can lower its setting in the stylesheet and, voila, all paragraphs will have the smaller font.

To learn more about CSS, have a look at www.w3.org/Style/CSS/.

Even if you're not interested in the concept of CSS, the Zen Garden sure is a great place to get inspiration for different designs.
