I can sympathise with Richard here, when one is getting started the easiest thing to do is start by copying examples found in books and on the web. There are very many examples of inline styling still about and if one is not familiar with css then the easiest thing to do is just to copy the example initially. If one is just experimenting with code there is no point going to the efforts of converting it to use css when it may just be thrown away anyway.
