  Typically it means adding another file.

    You could copy and paste the CSS in every page using style tags.

    sure but theyre already using inline css whats the problem with using a style tag? theyre already including a favicon might as well swap that for a css file if youre worried about get requests or something

    layout sure but font-size and background are pretty straight forward if you can set up a web server i am sure you could figure out enough to qualify for web 1.0 level complexity if simplicity is the concern why not just host a text file? browsers format them nicely

      That's a great point. I didn't get involved with the web until around 1998-99 so I'm not sure, but did the web ever not support plain old .txt?

    People learned how to do basic CSS off of web tutorials decades ago, and few if any of them were experts. It isn't that complicated.

  CSS and styling are immoral. Styling is used to manipulate readers. Content should stand on its own, anything that looks nice should be immediately met with skepticism. What are they trying to hide with their pretty background colors and hover styles? edit: also, can we talk about unneeded bloat? Those 5kb css files add up, how many tons are coal are burned every year because of all of those CSS files being downloaded over the internet?

    I like the way you think here. Less is more. Using less allows the rest to do more. "When you speak, it is silent. When you are silent, it speaks" - Zen Koan

    FYI, I can't tell whether you're being sarcastic (Betting 60% yes, 40% no)

    Is this trolling?
