But, for advanced users who like to work under the hood, there is great news! Expression® Web has taken all the WYSIWYG functions and converted them to their CSS equivalents. No more <font> tags, they are gone! This means that new websites designed using Expression® Web will be totally reliant upon CSS. I can still see where an inexperienced user could get themselves into trouble by styling to their hearts content. They may end up with 30, 40, 50 lines of embedded styles in the head of their document. Well, at least that is better than all the <font> tags that were previously generated by FrontPage. You will need to keep an eye out for the new kid on the block, <font> has been replaced with... <span class=""></span>

Got that right .. I'm playing around moving an old site into Expression froom Front Page 2003 .. and remebered your post here ..

I took a quick look at what I had for styles and after I said Oh Crap..started laughing at my initial excuberance in applying styles

.style1 {
font-size: large;
color: #F4B900;
}
.style2 {
color: #F4B900;
font-size: small;
background-color: #23470C;
}
.style3 {
background-color: #23470C;
}
.style4 {
font-size: small;
color: #F4B900;
}
.style5 {
text-align: left;
}
.style6 {
font-size: x-small;
}
.style7 {
font-weight: normal;
}
.style8 {
color: #23470C;
}
.style9 {
font-size: x-small;
color: #23470C;
}
.style10 {
font-size: x-small;
color: #23470C;
text-align: left;
}
.style11 {
text-align: center;
font-size: x-small;
background-color: #23470C;
}
.style12 {
color: #FFCF00;
}
.style13 {
font-size: x-small;
color: #FFCF00;
}
.style14 {
background-color: #23470C;
text-align: center;
}
</style>

Thats 40+ lines already and I'm just getting started ;)

I have to slow doen go back and see where I can elimninate some styles and combining others..

I dont see how I can get by with anything less than 10 different styles ..

How is this going to affect SE's reading 60 lines before it ever gets to any content .. I'd dont like that at all ..
