What does CSS mean?

That's an acronym that means Cascading Style Sheet. CSS allows web designers to attach styles (fonts, colors, size, margins, etc.) to HTML documents. It works like a template allowing web developers to define a style for an HTML element and then apply it to as many web pages as they want/need. We can also use styles to display different elements for different media (screen, printers). Changing the style in CSS will change the look and feel of all web pages that uses it instead of changing it in every single page. It simplifies web site maintenance.
