1. The advantages of external cascading style sheets (CSS) compared to internal CSS. Explain situations in which each is the appropriate type. Given these situations, which type do you think would be more useful for the majority of web pages?
2. Cascading style sheets are more simple to use and can be faster than internal CSS coding. When you're in a hurry, as I often am, I can never seem to get things just right when coding. Cascading style sheets can be more simple to use. For example, if you are working on a huge project such as a big website then you would want to do something quick especially if you have a big due date on your layout design. Sometime layout designing can take a long time. You have to pinpoint different areas on one sheet and then you can do them so they work out. It won't take as long as if you were doing one on internal CSS. Internal CSS you have to manually write in things. I prefer to do something quick. My life is hectic enough as it is and when I'm working on things I like for them to be quick, simple, and good as well. Personally I've had to do both before when designing a layout but I prefer cascading just for the simple fact its more simple and easier
3. Discuss and identify one cascading style sheet technique or tag described in Tutorial 3 of New Perspectives on Blended HTML, XHTML, and CSS Fundamentals that enhances the look of content in a web browser. Include the syntax of the tag and the effect it provides for the web audience.
4. "Letter Spacing" is used to adjust the length of white space between letters. This can be used to adjust the amount of perceived empty space on the page, most likely to be used in a header. This is an effect you want to utilize very carefully, because if you use it too much (as in too much space between letters), the blatant overuse of it will make your page look unprofessional. I could also see this being used in an "animation" where you use Javascript to stretch out, and condense a word, in a loop. I definitely would use this in a paragraph, unless you are using the page as an example of what not to do.
