CSS styles can be applied to general page elements, CSS Classes, and specific items:

img { border: 0px; }
this applies to every image tag in the HTML document

.classy { color: red; }
this applies to a CSS class called classy.
<span class="classy" > Example of classy red text </span>

#about { background-color: #ccc; }
This rule applies to just the specific element that has an ID value of about:
<div id="about"> About stuff goes here </div>
