pTGB, thanks for those links, Ive got them bookmarked and keep going back for reference, especially the first one, Dave Raggets, thats a lot of help for me. A great noob walkthrough. 
One overall question about CSS, will search engines read a page with css as they will read one with basic html ? |
Good question. I don't know how well google parses style sheets (if it does at all) but I try to use <strong>, <em>, and <h1>, tags where I can.
If you need to bold something stick with <strong> or <bold> instead of <div style="font-weight:bold"> just in case.
Use the tags when possible for simple things. That's the general rule of thumb I follow. Google and MSN have no problems indexing my pages as far as I know (and most of them make use of CSS)
I've always believed Google will love you for using CSS and cutting out extraneous shit HTML in your designs. That's just a huntch though. I have no proof of that whatsoever.
You might loose some weight in the SEs changing out various tags and replacing them with their (astetically) superior CSS equivalent. This is a loss I am willing to make to make my sites look a bit crisper. its up to the designer =)
