CSS or Cascading Style Sheet is a growing trend in web design. By using CSS, you can do away with more traditional web design techniques (eg use of tables) and create a website which is cleaner in coding and purer in content.
Common elements that are usually included in CSS files include:

• Navigation bar look & feel
• Dimensions and margins of the various sections of a web page
• Background and text colors
• Headers and footers

CSS techniques have developed rapidly over the years, nowadays it is quite common for web designers to minimize graphic files and use CSS to create things such as rounded corners, lines, shades and image transparencies. Image bubbles such as the one below is an example.

CSS and Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
CSS allows you to place code-heavy elements in a single file. To include those elements in your web pages, you can simply reference to the CSS file with a single line of code.

By doing this, your web content is cleaner and this helps search engines crawl your site more easily.

WordPress (the world’s most popular blogging application) uses CSS substantially. This is probably one of the reasons why it is very search engine friendly.
