The thingy on the taggy thing (CSS terminology)

One thing I have always struggled with is terminology. You know what you want to describe, you look at it on the screen and you go “yep, I want another one of those things” but when you are trying to communicate your ideas or pass on instructions to others, you get caught out very quickly when you start talking about “attaching things to other thingy’s” or “tweaking the value on the other thing.”

So I’m doing my best to learn the proper names of things. Starting with CSS.

I would step through all my own notes on tags, values, descriptors, etc, but why bother when there are pages that do it all so brilliantly already. And surprise of all surprises this one is a Microsoft page!
