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

img { border: solid #000 10px; }
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>
