Do people still use HTML (frequently) to build web pages, or is it mostly CSS now? And how much HTML do you really need to know to use CSS-- is a basic familiarity enough?
I took an extensive course in writing HTML as an undergraduate, in which I learned how to code both HTML and CSS. There are differences between each.
In regards to your post, cascading style sheets are not substitutes for using HTML. If anything, they give you more control over how your HTML content is arranged and the way it looks on the web. I found that knowing the foundations of HTML is essential for being able to best utilize CSS.
HTML is used to create web pages; CSS lets you change the function and overall layout of content arrangement. I think that HTML is not that difficult to use once you have the basics, it is all visual and therefore easier to write than any other computer language. You can pick it up very quickly. A familiarity with the essentials is all that is necessary, I think, to use CSS.
I think the best thing is not to get intimidated by HTML just because it looks like programming code. It's all visual, and creating a web page with HTML code is infinitely easier than using a program like Dreamweaver. Once you start, it can become fun instead of a chore. :3 Take care!
