Okay. So, I'm setting up my blogspot and while I was browsing some ready made downloadable templates, I thought, why not make my own? So, it would perfectly fit my taste. So, I searched it up how to make one and viola! I saw a site explaining step by step these codes I need to edit and put this one and that one. It was like a "tope.xml" file which just needs some revisions so that it would fit blogger's codes.
So, I was just somehow confused, what is the difference between, HTML, XML and CSS? I totally did not google these three. I just felt like asking here and letting you all discuss it. :P

Let me try,
HTML - is what you use to code the web pages for your site so the content display on the web browser as you intended (content can be: text, images, videos, or flash).
CSS- is like a master style you code once so that styles of your pages for your web site will be uniform.
I don't know what XML is for. It seems to be an important thing to learn though.

HTML – stands for Hypertext Markup Language. Web pages ware created with HTML. HTML "tags" are used to tell your browser how text should be displayed on your screen.
XML – stands for eXtensible Markup Language. A common misunderstanding is that XML is newer version of HTML. Not true. HTML tells the browser how to display the text, whereas, XML is used to determine how data is being stored. We know that a persons name consists of a first name and a last name — XML can be used to enforce that hierarchy of data.
CSS – stands for Cascaded Style Sheet. CSS is modifies HTML or XML to apply a style to the displayed page.
This is a very simplistic explanation. Search the internet to find more about them.
