This post is 14 years old, but answered my question today 6/20/2025.

I don't know if k to the z will see this, as he has not posted here for 9 years.

I liked his answer the best, not that the others were not good.

I began studying HTML in 1998.
At that time I did not use CSS.

I slowly delved in it here from 1999 - 2017.
In 2017 I took an HTML course at a local Community College.
I learned quite a bit, but it was new information and much did not last.
I chiefly use HTML on my local computer to capture information and display it to my liking and it is easy for me to find later. It is a way I take notes chiefly.

I just now created a mystyle.css file and it is working for my local webpage.
I have had my own domain and website but found it cost prohibitive for a poor cheapskate / miser / A.K.A my favorite name for it "frugal".

Should I delve into the somewhat costly world of my own domain.

In this modern 2025 world.

Would you say there is a place for inline stylesheet styling to change the look of different pages, or would you say that the separate stylsheet, like the mystyle.css (which could be changed of course to another name) be almost exlusively used?

I am thankful for this article.
I don't know if my question is helpful here as the post is so old.

But here goes.

Thank you!
