Hello Janine, I have watched all of your Dreamweaver and CSS training videos numerous times and worked all of the projects, and I am getting the hang of css styles and rules, etc. However, I have noticed that the pre-made CSS templates in Dreamweaver have <style> in the CSS panel, which I presume is an “internal” style […]
