The Webstyle Guide says to pair semantic markup with external cascading style sheets for maximum flexibility. All webpages don't look the same in different browsers. Using cascading style sheets creates a more fluid website; and allow the designer to control and make changes to various styles within a site. The designer of Discovery Earth Live followed this convention. Every page within the site is linked to a cascade style sheet. The result is a more cohesive and functional site.
