Masterpiece 14 for code checking please

Hello again Gurus,

This newbie is getting mega headaches looking for the answers on the www.
But hopefully I am getting there.
One thing, my bookmarks have doubled in the last week.

I struggled with this page
When someone has time would you please check my .css file for incorrect
coding and also how I laid out my html page.
Both validate but I know this does not mean I am doing it right.
Any better ideas will be appreciated.
Its all a learning curve for me.

As always, thanks

Jenny

I think you've made remarkable progress!

You have three invalid selectors (center, left, right) at the bottom of
your stylesheet, with invalid properties.

I have some suggestions about coding style. Coding style is to some
degree an individual matter; its sole purpose is to increase readability,
making the code easier to work with and maintain, so do whatever works
best for you.

That said, it is customary to indent lines between { }. Thus you would
have:

h1 {
text-decoration:underline;
text-align:center;
}

Personally, I find it improves readability to put a blank line between
selectors, and to line up property values:

h1 {
text-decoration: underline;
text-align: center;
}

h2 {
font-size: 120%;
}

Like I say, this is an individual matter. For some languages there are
sort-of standards that have developed and are more or less followed or
adapted to suit the individual coder's preferences, but the key is
readability.

Now those words will keep me at it, must admitt I am struggling though, a
lot of it is hit and miss
But I guess it will fall into place eventually.
