Customer Reviews

Ok but wheres the Magnifying Glass?
Good Points...
Small book, colourful, loads of information, helpful, takes you through CSS that's suitable for changing your page on myspace.com.

Bad Points...
The book is small which isn't a problem until you come to read some of the CSS coding, the main typeface and size is ok throughout the book, a bit condensed but readable. However the CSS that you have to type out and copy into you're myspace pages are sometimes unreadable due to the small size, boldness or maybe the bleed on the paper. You can't tell the difference on some pages between some of the characters ) & } or ; & : and as I'm new to CSS coding I didn't know which ones were right to use. In the end I scanned in the code that I needed from the pages at twice the size and I edited the scan so I could read it find, no I don't use glasses. I'm a graphic designer and the fonts in this section of the book are too small period.

If the book was done in a larger format with a larger size font and you could access the code on the web instead of typing everything out it would have gotten 5 stars..
