If you are truly new to css, you might wonder when to use id and when to use class. id is for unique elements -- on a page by page basis. Thus any element (such as a div) that is given an id should be unique. <div id="header"> ...... </div> Things like footer, menu, maincontent, masthead, or the form. id is like your driver's license -- one to a customer. For any elements that will be used more than once on a page you need to use class. class is like a room full of students. they may all be special in their own way but they share common characteristics that can be assigned together using the class name. Just covering the bases in case you haven't stumbled across this distinction yet.
