Using Cascading Style Sheets allows you to modify a portion of a page by defining specific styles to be used in areas defined by the coded tag. I.e., creating a style for the < h1 > tag will cause all areas within that tag to be modified to look as defined by the style sheet.
Inline Styles are used to provide a look to a single occurrence of an element of a web page.
Internal Style Sheets are used when an individual document has a style all its own.
External Style Sheets are used on many pages at once. These are often stored in seperate .css files and then linked to by each page to use the style sheet.
Class rules are named sets of formatting instructions that allow you to define a specific-purpose style in the style sheet that can be triggered in the document code.

Did you know that you can use more than one style sheet on your site? You can! Oftentimes you'll want a specific look to be displayed all across your website but on a specific page you may want an element just a wee bit different. You can make this happen by coding in multiple style sheets!
When using Expression Web to design your website, often times you will use a dialog box or a toolbar to make some changes to the way your page(s) look(s). When you do this, a new style will be created automatically and added to the style sheet for you.
