id versus class

[paulpsd]

In a few tutorials, I'm noticing developers writing CSS starting with a "#" rather than a "." Then in the HTML, they refer to styles using id rather than class. I'm used to doing it as class:

.bodyText {
...
}

<p class="bodyText">bla bla bla</p>

I think you're asking what's the difference, and when to use one over the other. If so, see:
