USCG Auxiliary Website Template
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

The Style Sheet attached to the Template uses fonts from the sans-serif family.  The serif family of fonts were found to provide the most comfort to the viewer and the easiest to read on a website.  Remember that using more than two font styles may distract from the information.  Also, animated graphics and the overuse of colors may also cause distraction.  Try to choose harmonious colors and usually not more than two per page.

Template CSS Text Styles

Style - Heading 1    <h1>

Style - Heading 2     <h2>

Style - Heading 3        <h3>

Section Sub-heading 4     <h4>

Text Heading 5        <h5>
Text Heading 6        <h6>

Text (Default for Paragraphs)        <p>

Add Some Class to the Style

To center your text simply edit the html code with class="center">  example of h5 centered
<h5 class="center"> This is centered text</h5>
This is centered text
If you want justified text you could <p class="justify"> like the paragraph above.

You can put emphasis on a word by highlighting the selection, then in the toolbar above Click B for bold and Select the tool bar  "A" for Font Color, on the drop down pick the color you prefer.  This font choice was bold red, notice how the code added a <span class="style1"><strong>bold red </strong></span>.  This was the code generated by the EW editor and will vary depending on the editor used.  Visit the HELP folder of your editor program, the CS Guide and the Website Design and Development page for more assistance.
